- NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
- Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout.
- 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.

TLDR - author is a historian and Sapiens is interesting (pop) history; Home Deus can be skipped

Amazon is actively curating reviews to make money. Often obfuscating things so people buy stuff. See RoP and WoT, both crap shows Amazon propped up with fake reviews and cutting bad ones.
But I'll reiterate that sapiens and homo deus are two of the best books I've ever read in this past year (along with viktor frankls mans search for meaning and 48 laws of power).
Also another thing I find interesting is the people that say the same stuff like "don't believe everything you see" or "think for yourself." Not that I don't believe in those phrases but people who use those tend to not be those with a scientific background and often end up citing scientific or medical literature (often out of context or misunderstood) to further their own confirmation bias. It's one thing to want to acquire knowledge regardless of source and have critical thinking and analytical skills vs trying to find ways to support preconceived beliefs, morals, or ideologies.

"a person holding an opinion at odds with what is generally accepted". I'm assuming you don't need me to spell out my point.
