Buy now to get the main key ideas from Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus
In Homo Deus (2015), Yuval Noah Harari examines new and futuristic approaches to human evolution and explores what might occur once old myths combine with superhuman technologies. He also discusses the threats that liberalism will encounter in the near future and suggests a greater cosmic plan, giving a brief glimpse of what the future might look like in the light of technology. The techno-religion of Dataism will ultimately replace traditional religions by creating Homo deus, a new human entity that will supersede Homo sapiens. Although humanity's time on Earth has shaped all aspects of life and nature, it is now time for biology, alongside technology, to decide the future.
Harari aims to raise three key issues about this future: Is life really just data processing? Which is more valuable, intelligence or consciousness? What will happen if our algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?
