Where Sapiens examined our past, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow turns Yuval Noah Harari’s formidable intellect toward what comes next. Harari argues that having largely conquered the great historical challenges of famine, plague, and war, humanity’s new agenda will be the pursuit of immortality, bliss, and divinity. He explores the rise of Dataism, the philosophy that treats data flows as the supreme value in the universe, and asks whether algorithms and artificial intelligence will eventually surpass human consciousness and render us economically and militarily irrelevant. Provocative and at times unsettling, Homo Deus raises the most important questions of the coming century: What do we want to want? And who decides?
