ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari embarks on an intellectual journey exploring the potential future of humankind. Building upon historical analysis, the book examines how humanity, having largely addressed traditional concerns like famine, plague, and war, may now set its sights on new, ambitious goals such as immortality, bliss, and divinity. The narrative delves into the rise of humanism and its emphasis on human experience, but also probes how emerging technologies and new belief systems, like Dataism, could challenge this long-dominant paradigm. The book raises profound questions about the future role and value of humans in a world increasingly shaped by advanced algorithms and data.
