Introduction
In his book, Yuval Noah Harari hypothesizes a technocratic dystopian future, in which the religion of data dominates the universe and renders humans obsolete and possibly extinct. Homo Deus begins by presenting the chief problem of the twenty-first century: Now that humans have mostly resolved the problems of famine, war, and plague, which projects will humankind prioritize?
