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.
##通過Audible有聲書聽讀完的。當然並不贊同一些觀點,但是的確能夠激發新的思考,比如:人本主義的閤理性,感受和經曆的價值,信息是否應該為王,人能否為自己的生命負責。
評分##寫曆史水平的高低在於能否對同一曆史事件的多角度觀察。
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##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##Somewhat repetitive from time to time, but definitely worth every repetition!
評分##寫曆史水平的高低在於能否對同一曆史事件的多角度觀察。
評分##角度的確很宏大 可以受到不少啓發 作者太博學瞭 同時又講的淺顯易懂 服
評分##強烈推薦,確實如作者所說,這隻是對未來的猜測,不過這樣的未來正在發生。新一輪的革命屬於算法。問問自己,人和機器人相比,未來還具備什麼優勢?-1400+
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
