Homo Deus - Summarized for Busy People: A Brief History of Tomorrow: Based on the Book by Yuval Noah Harari
()
About this ebook
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the worldwide hit and New York Times bestseller Sapiens, presents another riveting and thought-provoking masterpiece revolving around the future of humankind and its journey in the path to divinity.
Throughout the last century, humans have triumphed over the seemingly impossible and have overcome plague, famine, and war. Harari emphasizes that although this is difficult to believe, humankind has indeed successfully reduced plague, famine, and war from unyielding natural forces into manageable predicaments. The fraction of people today that die from communicable diseases is less than of those who die from old age; the mortality rate linked to complications from diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions is less than of those who die from having too little to eat; and the number of casualties of war is less than the total body count for suicide.
A question arises: what will become humankind’s next project if not finding solutions for plague, famine, and war? Humans have long reigned over the Earth. Now we must choose our next journey and set on a new path to the future. In Homo Deus, Harari investigates what dreams, nightmares, and ventures await us in the twenty-first century—from surmounting death itself to creating godlike beings.
Now we must ask ourselves: What will become of humankind? With this much power at our fingertips, how will we protect the world from the self-destructive tendencies of man? We are entering the next part of evolution. We have arrived at the age of Homo Deus.

BOOK OVERVIEW
In Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari introduces a future of technocratic dystopia where data is revered more than humankind itself. In the beginning, Harari poses the question: now that humanity has offered solutions to plague, war, and famine, what quests will it accomplish next? Harari believes that the pursuit of happiness, immortality, and divinity will be prioritized. To support this, Homo Deus contains a brief history of 300 years of humanism. This is to show that the world we have now is inevitable, but so are the countless alternatives we could have had. Harari hopes that his book can inspire the people of the 21st century to re-establish their goals, take matters into their own hands,
