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.

读后感

大致逻辑 文明进展到今天，人类的主题从饥荒、瘟疫和战争，转变为永生、极乐和神力（强化的超能力，如优选基因创造高智商的人的能力）。 宗教创建秩序，科学寻求力量，这两者一直相辅相承，推动文明演变。 现代文明建立在人本主义的信仰之上，其中一个分支自由主义战胜另两个分...  

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。 ...  

未来简史 序章 人类的新议题 战胜死亡 脱离生物贫困线，世界上已经没有自然造成的饥荒，只有政治造成的饥荒 瘟疫和传染病被有效遏制 丛林法则和契诃夫法则被打破，战争正在消失 永久幸福 长生不死 一切只是技术问题，会有技术上的解决方案 幸福快乐 ...  

与Richard Dawkins和Jared Diamond两位科学家不同，作者虽然思想自由驰骋，想象丰富，但却有失严谨。比如： 关于决策模式：作者用狒狒躲狮子吃香蕉为例，来说明决策过程是一个算法（algorithms）。这和经济学里把人假设为理性人，把人的决策过程比作一个在输入所有变量后的优化...

用户评价

写历史水平的高低在于能否对同一历史事件的多角度观察。

看过homo sapeisns或没时间的话可以直接看第三章，脑洞蛮大的。当然，还是没改稍嫌啰嗦的毛病……

过去一个月在上班的公交车上断断续续读完。人类未来的命运道路或许从来没有像现在这样充满不确定性，但能够亲眼见证Dataism对Humanism的冲击，也是这个时代给我们的最大福利。接下来打算读这个作者的前一本书Sapiens

通过Audible有声书听读完的。当然并不赞同一些观点，但是的确能够激发新的思考，比如：人本主义的合理性，感受和经历的价值，信息是否应该为王，人能否为自己的生命负责。

强烈推荐，确实如作者所说，这只是对未来的猜测，不过这样的未来正在发生。新一轮的革命属于算法。问问自己，人和机器人相比，未来还具备什么优势？-1400+
