漫漫地球进化史,人类过得不容易。 7万年前,躲过了洪水,干掉了猛兽,才终于爬上食物链的顶端,成了地球的老大。 1万多年前,学会了种小麦,步入了农业社会,又通过虚构和想象,构建了国家、社会、军队这些想象共同体,爱在西元前,相约恒河畔。 500年前,科技革命,经济增长...
评分耶路撒冷希伯来大学历史系教授尤瓦尔·赫拉利近几年写了两本现象级畅销书,一本是探讨人类历史的《人类简史》,一本是远眺人类未来的《未来简史》,这位刚过四十岁、西装笔挺的年轻学者,一直拒绝使用智能手机。为什么?这成了他日前在上海“主动进化·造就未来大会”被媒体记...
评分这本书中的一个章节,很细致的描述了现代社会做决定的根本出发点:personal feelings. 为了说明这个问题,书中举了个例子,用欧洲中世纪社会、作为一个和现代社会很不同的运行方式,来做对比。比如:有一位已婚女性出轨。 在中世纪的时候,她会去教堂,找牧师,先跟牧师坦白:...
评分读完《未来简史》,大概一周左右,脑子里盘旋着各种好似成型又未成体系的想法,于是决定先写下来,聊做梳理。 这部《未来简史》,可以看做是《人类简史》的续篇,第1章为总论,本书2-7章基本是对《人类简史》所探讨议题的复习和深化,从第8章起开始思考未来。 以下,便是对《未...
评分花了12天时间,终于把尤瓦尔·赫拉利这部大作《未来简史》读完。之前在生物科学和人类历史这块知之甚少,也没读过他的另一大作《人类简史》。这个全新的视角让我脑洞打开惊为天人,一开始就被这未曾涉猎的知识区深深吸引,读时大呼过瘾。读完觉得必须好好回顾总结,复盘收获。 ...

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.
如前作般,用普通题材构建庞大的思想,赫拉利的未来接近美丽新世界。人类永不满足,过去争夺土地与能源,未来则争夺进化与永生。人类对待其他物种的方式,也许预示神人将如何对待普通人类。未来没有疾病,饥荒与战争,没有未知,没有重复的体脑劳动,甚至没有痛苦,永生成为现实,神人与数据成为新的上帝与宗教。人类能否由此获得更多的幸福?也许整体可能,个体未必。吊诡之处在,每当人类自认无所不知,无所不能,事后就被证明是愚蠢与自大。人类简史与未来简史,于我的意义在,串起近期的很多阅读。欧洲史的现代社会发端,西方政治传统的自由主义,源泉的个人主义,中东地缘现状,博物学的物种平等,科学史与科学哲学,高频交易,量子理论与相对论,必然的互联网未来,基因的生物工程,宗教的秩序,道金斯与平克。可见作者的知识脉络与梳理能力。
评分这是这几年来我读过的觉得最好看的一本书,大概没有“之一”。书中有太多兴奋点,从头到尾。有些是开眼界,有些是我的困惑点。准备什么时候再读一遍,做点笔记。
评分A must read. 表面上看起来是一本讲人类未来的书,但如作者自己所说,他并非在做预测,更不是危言耸听或者暗藏某个政治或者经济动机。更多的是作者结合目前人类科学和科技的发展、回顾人类历史和人性本身来探讨将来人类很有可能会面对的世界。感觉回到了大学时代,教授的智慧对话,引发学生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning,and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
评分经万维钢提练后,也是分了五部分陈述了书内的主要内容。很不过瘾,希望可以买到原文亲眼过一遍。
评分想起Coursera一门耶鲁开的美国宪法课上教授说到,率先给予女性选举权的是西部的怀俄明和犹他州,因为男女人口差距悬殊,目的是吸引女性前来定居。人权当然是靠争取来的,但它并不天生正确,而是因为有需要。哲学推理不能证明人人生而平等,之所以认可是因为权衡之后还是这样比较好。古时未必没有诞生过人文主义者,只是没有发展的土壤。事情会发生是因为可以,不是因为正确,如果人类可以被抛弃,为什么不?会有新的理论来为此作支撑。
