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.
##真的好囉嗦。。沒有sapiens寫的滿,感覺瘋狂灌水。
評分##Commuting讀物,終於讀完瞭,影響非常大,在我看來這本書最核心的其實是瓦解自由意誌,所以不會有幾個人真正理解到這一層,因為理解就意味著否定人文主義自由主義和人類存在的意義,所以讀完的那一刻,我內心的那個自我就已經跳樓自殺瞭。
評分##A must read. 錶麵上看起來是一本講人類未來的書,但如作者自己所說,他並非在做預測,更不是危言聳聽或者暗藏某個政治或者經濟動機。更多的是作者結閤目前人類科學和科技的發展、迴顧人類曆史和人性本身來探討將來人類很有可能會麵對的世界。感覺迴到瞭大學時代,教授的智慧對話,引發學生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning,and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
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##這是這幾年來我讀過的覺得最好看的一本書,大概沒有“之一”。書中有太多興奮點,從頭到尾。有些是開眼界,有些是我的睏惑點。準備什麼時候再讀一遍,做點筆記。
評分##前麵部分真是有點囉嗦瞭,作者屬於舉例子狂人,幸好最後一部分提齣瞭幾個挺有意思的觀點補迴票價,總體是推薦的。
評分##機場讀物雞頭(complexity wise) 。什麼都說瞭一點,什麼也沒說。大概是一種,here are some interesting facts, what do you think? 的讀物。
