**From the author of the global phenomenon Sapiens** **A Guardian Book of the Year** **An Evening Standard Book of the Year** **A TLS Book of the Year** 'Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before.' Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking Fast, and Slow Yuval Noah Harari, author of the bestselling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. In Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of science, history, philosophy and every discipline in between. 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. War is obsolete You are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict Famine is disappearing You are at more risk of obesity than starvation Death is just a technical problem Equality is out - but immortality is in What does our future hold?

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.
