Summary & Review: Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
In tracking the journey from a hunter-gatherer phase to an era of data-dumping cyber citizens, Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus, in three parts, explores first the relationship between humans and animals, the journey and search for meaning that has brought humankind to this strange crossroads, and finally, a peek at the future, scrutinizing how our humanism and our relationship with technology and data could mark our downfall.
Harari’s futurist predictions—which initially seem like dramatic science fiction—materialize in the historical echoes brought to light, the author’s clear argument, and even further the questions raised: is there an essential aspect of consciousness lost in elitism? Is it gained by relinquishing power? Is meaning and consciousness the same thing and what is the value of artificial intelligence for humanity’s future?
