«Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow» is the essay by Yuval Noah Harari, published by Harvill Secker in hardback (440 pages, in English).
Yuval Noah Harari starts from the idea that humanity already controls famine, epidemics and war, and asks what it will do with that power. In Homo Deus, Harari analyses the transition from Homo sapiens to deus: from the pursuit of immortality and happiness to the creation of artificial life, and how those projects will redefine humanity's future.
«Homo Deus» is the second volume in the Homo series, after Sapiens. The work was longlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize 2017.
For readers of Sapiens and non-fiction interested in humanity's future, technology and philosophy.
