"Sapiens", the sensational and largely revolutionary book by Juval Noval Harari told how our appearance became dominant on Earth. How we became those who we are.
"homodeus" continues the logic of the first book, answering the question: we are the crown of creation. So, what is next? We were organized to satisfy the basic needs. Now we strive to gain bliss and immortality.
Here lies the main provocation of Harari. Do we need to strive for this? Harari proves: Absolute happiness, immortality and God -likeness will not necessarily become good for the human race. The author draws the following picture of a possible future: the elites at the expense of biotechnology and genetic engineering will improve themselves and their lives and create a god -like look of Homo Deus, artificial intelligence will appear, which “knows us better than we know ourselves”, God -like elites and super -growing robots at the end The ends will decide that the existence of the rest of humanity does not make sense.
Harari does an excellent job, showing how we can reach such a life and how it threatens us. "Brief story of the future" is written right now, and we are active participants in this process
