Prof. Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. His books have been translated into 50+ languages, with 12+ million copies sold worldwide. 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' (2014) looked deep into our past, 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow' (2016) considered far-future scenarios, and '21 Lessons for the 21st Century' (2018) zoomed in on the biggest questions of the present moment.
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.

讀完《未來簡史》,大概一周左右,腦子裏盤鏇著各種好似成型又未成體係的想法,於是決定先寫下來,聊做梳理。 這部《未來簡史》,可以看做是《人類簡史》的續篇,第1章為總論,本書2-7章基本是對《人類簡史》所探討議題的復習和深化,從第8章起開始思考未來。 以下,便是對《未...
評分最近的中國中青年一代,內心那個叫苦,那個焦灼,以至於我刷朋友圈,感覺在看反烏托邦小說連載: 據說,三十來歲就可能失業瞭 貌似,創業十來年,還可能入坑“淨身齣戶” 眼前的,居住的城市霧霾嚴重 近期的,臥槽,房價又TMD彪瞭,何處安放俺們的青春 進一步要考慮的,有房瞭...
評分與Richard Dawkins和Jared Diamond兩位科學傢不同,作者雖然思想自由馳騁,想象豐富,但卻有失嚴謹。比如: 關於決策模式:作者用狒狒躲獅子吃香蕉為例,來說明決策過程是一個算法(algorithms)。這和經濟學裏把人假設為理性人,把人的決策過程比作一個在輸入所有變量後的優化...
評分尤瓦爾。赫拉利的《未來簡史》在我的朋友圈裏頻繁刷屏,使得還算是愛書的我幾乎難以抗拒,不買下來,實在是難以對得起我新搬的辦公室裏裝逼專用的書架。 這本大部頭的書分為三大部分,簡單地說,對應人類的過去、現在和未來,我並不關心前麵兩部分,尤其是前兩個部分在同...
評分圖書標籤: 曆史 社會科學 英文原版 未來 Yuval_Harari Future 社會 思想
想起Coursera一門耶魯開的美國憲法課上教授說到,率先給予女性選舉權的是西部的懷俄明和猶他州,因為男女人口差距懸殊,目的是吸引女性前來定居。人權當然是靠爭取來的,但它並不天生正確,而是因為有需要。哲學推理不能證明人人生而平等,之所以認可是因為權衡之後還是這樣比較好。古時未必沒有誕生過人文主義者,隻是沒有發展的土壤。事情會發生是因為可以,不是因為正確,如果人類可以被拋棄,為什麼不?會有新的理論來為此作支撐。
評分一瓶高濃度的心靈硫酸
評分如前作般,用普通題材構建龐大的思想,赫拉利的未來接近美麗新世界。人類永不滿足,過去爭奪土地與能源,未來則爭奪進化與永生。人類對待其他物種的方式,也許預示神人將如何對待普通人類。未來沒有疾病,飢荒與戰爭,沒有未知,沒有重復的體腦勞動,甚至沒有痛苦,永生成為現實,神人與數據成為新的上帝與宗教。人類能否由此獲得更多的幸福?也許整體可能,個體未必。吊詭之處在,每當人類自認無所不知,無所不能,事後就被證明是愚蠢與自大。人類簡史與未來簡史,於我的意義在,串起近期的很多閱讀。歐洲史的現代社會發端,西方政治傳統的自由主義,源泉的個人主義,中東地緣現狀,博物學的物種平等,科學史與科學哲學,高頻交易,量子理論與相對論,必然的互聯網未來,基因的生物工程,宗教的秩序,道金斯與平剋。可見作者的知識脈絡與梳理能力。
評分很長一段時間裏讀到的真正意義上的科幻作品。因為它展示瞭一個我還沒想過的未來,雖然是不想去的未來。數據信仰這個概念值得思考,對教育係統更是有深刻的提示作用。其實阿西莫夫基地係列與機器人係列最後結閤的那一本已經提到瞭整個銀河係的conscious being應該結成一個統一的有機體,每個生靈都是這個機體的一分子一細胞。《未來簡史》更進一步,提齣一旦數據和算法控製整個體係,最終人的價值將不再有特殊性,也許就可以退齣曆史舞颱瞭。當然,這本書對問題的分析還是太簡單化瞭。事情永遠沒有那麼簡單的。再說,人總是高估自己的技術。2019瞭,仿生人和空中飛車連影兒都沒呢,2001過去瞭18年,人類連月球都沒興趣再去。走著瞧吧,該乾嘛乾嘛。
評分真的好囉嗦。。沒有sapiens寫的滿,感覺瘋狂灌水。
