First of all, I had a blast listening to 'Homo Deus'.

I thought it was going to be a more humane version of something like Michio Kaku's 'Physics of the Future.' Nooooooot quite. The only reason I'm not giving this a 5-star rating for the story is because this might not be what you think it's going to be. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times best seller, Harari maps out our future. 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. 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 21st century - from overcoming death to creating artificial life. The average American is 1,000 times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. 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. 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. Over the past century, humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically acclaimed New York Times best seller 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.
