Homo Deus
A Brief History of Tomorrow
Having largely beaten famine, plague and war, Harari asks what a species does next, and whether humanism survives the algorithms.
The sequel to Sapiens turns from where we came from to where the species may be heading, arguing that having largely contained famine, plague and war, humanity will next pursue immortality, engineered happiness and divinity itself. Harari’s worry is that the humanist assumptions underwriting liberal politics do not survive contact with algorithms that know us better than we know ourselves.
