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.
##耶路撒冷希伯来大学历史系教授尤瓦尔·赫拉利近几年写了两本现象级畅销书,一本是探讨人类历史的《人类简史》,一本是远眺人类未来的《未来简史》,这位刚过四十岁、西装笔挺的年轻学者,一直拒绝使用智能手机。为什么?这成了他日前在上海“主动进化·造就未来大会”被媒体记...
评分 评分##与Richard Dawkins和Jared Diamond两位科学家不同,作者虽然思想自由驰骋,想象丰富,但却有失严谨。比如: 关于决策模式:作者用狒狒躲狮子吃香蕉为例,来说明决策过程是一个算法(algorithms)。这和经济学里把人假设为理性人,把人的决策过程比作一个在输入所有变量后的优化...
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...
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##一瓶高浓度的心灵硫酸 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...
