Description: Homo Deus A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari Illustrated Paperback BRAND NEW Homo Deus A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari Illustrated Paperback Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrowby Yuval Noah HarariAbout the book:Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller 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.Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. 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.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 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.With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.About the authorProf. Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and Sapiens: A Graphic History. His books have sold over 35 million copies in 65 languages, and he is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. The Guardian has credited Sapiens with revolutionizing the non-fiction market and popularizing “brainy books”.Born in Haifa, Israel, in 1976, Harari received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is currently a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He originally specialized in world history, medieval history and military history, and his current research focuses on macro-historical questions such as: What is the relationship between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded? What ethical questions do science and technology raise in the 21st century?Reviews and Praises“Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before.” Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking Fast, and Slow“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.” Financial Times“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.” Guardian“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.” Evening Standard (London)“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.” Washington PostBook IdentifiersAuthor: Yuval Noah HarariPublisher: Vintage ISBN-10: 1784703931ISBN-13: 9781784703936Format: PaperbackPublication Year: 2017Language: EnglishWeight: 452 grams Dimensions: 19.8 x 4 x 13.1 cmNumber of Pages: 528 pages Country of Origin: India Author: Yuval Noah Harari ISBN 13: Language: English Published by: Vintage Format: Paperback Year: 2018 Pages: Weight: Genre: AnthroprologyHistory Topic: Anthropology Intended Audience: AdultsYoung Adults Country of Origin: United Kingdom You can see our store policies on the following linkPolicies Shipping IMPORTANT!
