Publisher Description
International Bestseller
From the author of the international bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind comes an extraordinary new book that explores the future of the human species.
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the bestselling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. In Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of science, history, philosophy and every discipline in between.
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.

Customer Reviews
From me
A history lesson that feels like a suspense novel.
More of an advocacy of certain belief system
Reading the book, much more than it predicts human society of the future, it advocates certain specific beliefs of the author.
It felt like atheist beliefs being shoved down our throats.
Incredibly Thought Provoking!
A great follow up to Sapiens and an intellectual rollercoaster through human history culminating in a climax that rivals any literary masterpiece. A book that has greatly influenced my views on life and humanity.
