书籍简介：

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.

书友短评：

@ ♪^ing*娴 很长一段时间里读到的真正意义上的科幻作品。因为它展示了一个我还没想过的未来，虽然是不想去的未来。数据信仰这个概念值得思考，对教育系统更是有深刻的提示作用。其实阿西莫夫基地系列与机器人系列最后结合的那一本已经提到了整个银河系的conscious being应该结成一个统一的有机体，每个生灵都是这个机体的一分子一细胞。《未来简史》更进一步，提出一旦数据和算法控制整个体系，最终人的价值将不再有特殊性，也许就可以退出历史舞台了。当然，这本书对问题的分析还是太简单化了。事情永远没有那么简单的。再说，人总是高估自己的技术。2019了，仿生人和空中飞车连影儿都没呢，2001过去了18年，人类连月球都没兴趣再去。走着瞧吧，该干嘛干嘛。 @ RedDust 过去一个月在上班的公交车上断断续续读完。人类未来的命运道路或许从来没有像现在这样充满不确定性，但能够亲眼见证Dataism对Humanism的冲击，也是这个时代给我们的最大福利。接下来打算读这个作者的前一本书Sapiens @ 乱世浮生 最有意思的观点在最后四分之一 @ 宅 对于作者提出intelligence and consciousness 的思考很赞同 @ Pi 这语言很适合英语水平一般的 @  只能说庆幸我的职业选择让自己不至于陷入这样的思维模式和误区。 @ GeeMusou 人与动物的关系可能影响着人工智能与人的关系，这个观点新颖，有趣~2017.05.25-2020.12.13一本极大增长词汇量的书。格局之宏大经常令人深思。
