NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
Prof. Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. His books have been translated into 50+ languages, with 12+ million copies sold worldwide. 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' (2014) looked deep into our past, 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow' (2016) considered far-future scenarios, and '21 Lessons for the 21st Century' (2018) zoomed in on the biggest questions of the present moment.
设想一下,如果今天你要搞一个活动,想把中国最有思想和最有权势的人,都聚集在一起,透过他们,引发势能,获得尽可能大的关注,那么,什么样的议题,可能会让这个活动变得广受欢迎? 上一次,中国精英们找到的答案是Kevin Kelly,从《失控》谈到《技术元素》再到《必然》,尽管...
评分 评分大致逻辑 文明进展到今天,人类的主题从饥荒、瘟疫和战争,转变为永生、极乐和神力(强化的超能力,如优选基因创造高智商的人的能力)。 宗教创建秩序,科学寻求力量,这两者一直相辅相承,推动文明演变。 现代文明建立在人本主义的信仰之上,其中一个分支自由主义战胜另两个分...
评分读完《未来简史》,大概一周左右,脑子里盘旋着各种好似成型又未成体系的想法,于是决定先写下来,聊做梳理。 这部《未来简史》,可以看做是《人类简史》的续篇,第1章为总论,本书2-7章基本是对《人类简史》所探讨议题的复习和深化,从第8章起开始思考未来。 以下,便是对《未...
评分2017年1月,最热门的一本书肯定就是《未来简史》了,作者赫拉利的《人类简史》珠玉在前,是一本回看人类世界的书籍,大家都在期待往前看世界,赫拉利是否还能够像《人类简史》一样犀利。 再加上中信出版社与罗辑思维创造出“没看过这本书的人将被永远的甩在2016年”这样的营销...
过去一个月在上班的公交车上断断续续读完。人类未来的命运道路或许从来没有像现在这样充满不确定性,但能够亲眼见证Dataism对Humanism的冲击,也是这个时代给我们的最大福利。接下来打算读这个作者的前一本书Sapiens
评分写历史水平的高低在于能否对同一历史事件的多角度观察。
评分A must read. 表面上看起来是一本讲人类未来的书,但如作者自己所说,他并非在做预测,更不是危言耸听或者暗藏某个政治或者经济动机。更多的是作者结合目前人类科学和科技的发展、回顾人类历史和人性本身来探讨将来人类很有可能会面对的世界。感觉回到了大学时代,教授的智慧对话,引发学生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning,and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
评分真的好啰嗦。。没有sapiens写的满,感觉疯狂灌水。
评分经万维钢提练后,也是分了五部分陈述了书内的主要内容。很不过瘾,希望可以买到原文亲眼过一遍。
