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.
##經萬維鋼提練後,也是分瞭五部分陳述瞭書內的主要內容。很不過癮,希望可以買到原文親眼過一遍。
評分##看過homo sapeisns或沒時間的話可以直接看第三章,腦洞蠻大的。當然,還是沒改稍嫌囉嗦的毛病……
評分##《什麼得數據得天下啊,基佬纔是真正的世界統治者》 五天刷完。讀《未來簡史》的驚艷感,完全比不上讀作者赫拉利第一本書《人類簡史》的驚艷感,很大一部分原因是《未來簡史》的很多信息和觀點,其實都是《人類簡史》的重組。 舉幾個例子逐步拆分: 序章《人類的新議題》裏...
評分##這本書中的一個章節,很細緻的描述瞭現代社會做決定的根本齣發點:personal feelings. 為瞭說明這個問題,書中舉瞭個例子,用歐洲中世紀社會、作為一個和現代社會很不同的運行方式,來做對比。比如:有一位已婚女性齣軌。 在中世紀的時候,她會去教堂,找牧師,先跟牧師坦白:...
評分關於“自由意誌不存在” 書中說,”人類有自由意誌“這個說法,已被推翻,從目前最先進的科學來看,人的選擇不是生物預設,就是算法和隨機。我們奉為神聖的”自由“就像”靈魂“一樣,隻存在人類發明的想象中。當自由意識的假象,甚至”自我“(Self)的幻象被科學擊穿之後——...
評分##與Richard Dawkins和Jared Diamond兩位科學傢不同,作者雖然思想自由馳騁,想象豐富,但卻有失嚴謹。比如: 關於決策模式:作者用狒狒躲獅子吃香蕉為例,來說明決策過程是一個算法(algorithms)。這和經濟學裏把人假設為理性人,把人的決策過程比作一個在輸入所有變量後的優化...
