From the author of the international bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind comes an extraordinary follow-up that explores the future of the human species. Humans today enjoy unprecedented levels of power and an increasingly god-like status. The great epidemics of the past--famine, plague and war--no longer control our lives. We are the only species in history that has single-handedly changed the entire planet, and we can no longer blame a higher being for our fate. But as our gods take a back seat, and Homo Sapiens becomes Homo Deus, what are we going to do with ourselves? How do we set the agenda for our own future without pushing our species--and the rest of the world--beyond its limits? In this vivid, challenging new book from the author of Sapiens , Yuval Noah Harari examines the implications of our newly upgraded condition, from our dogged pursuit of status and happiness to our constant quest to overcome death by pushing the boundaries of science. He explores how Homo Sapiens conquered the world, our creation of today's human-centred environment, our current predicament and our possible future. And, above all, he 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 truly one of the best books I've ever read in my lifetime and I've read a lot of them and I cannot believe this author's treatment of History and his insights are just amazing and brilliant. I read the book three times and I want to read it a fourth time because it's wonderfully packed with Incredible Revelations and Truths. I'm a convert I'm a newbie I am a total fan of Yuval Noah Harari!! I cannot wait for another book from him! One real eye-opener was the fact that the Agricultural Revolution was not exactly a step forward for Humanity when we were always taught that it was and his arguments are very convincing that it was not the best thing that happened to us. I had no idea of the incredible importance of joint stock companies and their role in world history and I also think that Yuval's explanation of why it was Europe that discovered and exploited the Americas rather than any other country was also very insightful and convincing.
