It was a no from me, essentially a repeat of Sapiens nothing new he’s only ever on solid ground when talking about history and when he strays into other areas like science he pulls together tenuous and dubious theories often badly. Occasional flashes of interest that kept me reading but ultimately wish I’d not bothered.

Homo Deus takes a while to get where it’s going and is better for it. Rather than simply trying to predict the future, the book constructs a narrative throughline between the “religions” of past and present, from naturality to polytheism to monotheism to humanism to liberalism to dataism (his only candidate for the new world of bits) stopping to check out intermediaries along the way. Like most non-humanist books, it’s hard to know whether to take them optimistically or pessimistically (or whether one even can). Harari has an awkward view of immediate politics as an Israeli, but it blessedly doesn’t compromise the value of Homo Deus. Will need a second listen at some point in the future, hopefully before too much of it comes to pass.

Had some great points but parts were way too long.

Thought provoking!

Must read for anyone who wants to get a sense of where humanity stands and where we are possibly headed. I love how Yuval clearly demarcates between facts and possibilities. Extremely well articulated and detailed, complete with references.

Broaden my perspective of how I see and inspect the world. An eye-opener.
