具體描述
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.
用戶評價
想起Coursera一門耶魯開的美國憲法課上教授說到，率先給予女性選舉權的是西部的懷俄明和猶他州，因為男女人口差距懸殊，目的是吸引女性前來定居。人權當然是靠爭取來的，但它並不天生正確，而是因為有需要。哲學推理不能證明人人生而平等，之所以認可是因為權衡之後還是這樣比較好。古時未必沒有誕生過人文主義者，隻是沒有發展的土壤。事情會發生是因為可以，不是因為正確，如果人類可以被拋棄，為什麼不？會有新的理論來為此作支撐。
評分##聽瞭一半準備棄瞭，yuval大概是很好的曆史學傢，但是這一本完全就是pop science啊，也不是他的本專業，感覺畢竟牽強。我比較認同的是憑什麼humancentric，也認為接下來的一兩百年人類會因為科技而進化成跟現在非常不相同的“人類”，到時候道德會成為全新的不同問題。
評分##Somewhat repetitive from time to time, but definitely worth every repetition!
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##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##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##過去一個月在上班的公交車上斷斷續續讀完。人類未來的命運道路或許從來沒有像現在這樣充滿不確定性，但能夠親眼見證Dataism對Humanism的衝擊，也是這個時代給我們的最大福利。接下來打算讀這個作者的前一本書Sapiens
