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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat 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?\u003cem\u003e Homo Deus\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the same insight and clarity that made \u003cem\u003eSapiens\u003c\/em\u003e an international hit and a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller, Harari maps out our future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eHomo Deus\u003c\/em\u003e will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before.”\u003cbr\u003e“Thrilling to watch such a talented author trample so freely across so many disciplines... Harari’s skill lies in the way he tilts the prism in all these fields and looks at the world in different ways, providing fresh angles on what we thought we knew... scintillating.”\u003cbr\u003e“Spellbinding… This is a very intelligent book, full of sharp insights and mordant wit... It is a quirky and cool book, with a sliver of ice at its heart... It is hard to imagine anyone could read this book without getting an occasional, vertiginous thrill.”\u003cbr\u003e“Harari is an intellectual magpie who has plucked theories and data from many disciplines - including philosophy, theology, computer science and biology - to produce a brilliantly original, thought-provoking and important study of where mankind is heading.”\u003cbr\u003e“I enjoyed reading about these topics not from another futurist but from a historian, contextualizing our current ways of thinking amid humanity’s long march–especially…with Harari’s ability to capsulize big ideas memorably and mingle them with a light, dry humor…Harari offers not just history lessons but a meta-history lesson.”\u003cbr\u003e“What elevates Harari above many chroniclers of our age is his exceptional clarity and focus.”\u003cbr\u003e“A remarkable book, full of insights and thoughtful reinterpretations of what we thought we knew about ourselves and our history.”\u003cbr\u003e“Provocative...the handiwork of a gifted thinker.”\u003cbr\u003e“[A] great book…not only alters the way you see the world after you’ve read it, it also casts the past in a different light. In \u003cem\u003eHomo Deus\u003c\/em\u003e, Yuval Noah Harari shows us where mankind is headed in an absolutely clear-sighted \u0026amp; accessible manner.”\u003cbr\u003e“Like all great epics, \u003cem\u003eSapiens\u003c\/em\u003e demanded a sequel. \u003cem\u003eHomo Deus\u003c\/em\u003e, in which that likely apocalyptic future is imagined in spooling detail, is that book. It is a highly seductive scenario planner for the numerous ways in which we might overreach ourselves.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780062464316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":41111734714574,"sku":"9780062464316","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780062464316.jpg?v=1649738169","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780062464316","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
