I echo many of the reviews here that says that many of the points in this book has been repeated when there is no need to be. If this book is your first foray into Yuval's collection, then it will be better however I would recommend everyone to start with Sapiens, not Homo Deus.
Homo Deus presents two new, radical, and upcoming narratives that he strongly predicts will take over our current one that is humanism - techno-humanism and dataism. I completely lost my brain's last desperate grasps on the subject, so instead of listening to me rambling here I found this quick and easy summary on the internet ('on the internet'? I sound like my aunt) that neatly summarises the main points of the book. It's worth a read to get your thoughts in order, but after reading the actual book. This way you won't miss Yuval's crisp, detailed, persuasive arguments on trans-humanism and dataism, and his amazing breakdown of the history of what led us up to them today.
“This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to predict the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine alternative destinies. Of course this is not total freedom – we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.”

Sapiens was soo good, this book does touch on some themes covered in Sapiens so can feel repetitive. Additionally, with it being released almost 10yrs ago now, it can feel a little outdated as some speculative sections on pandemics and wars being a thing of the past seem naive considering the events of the past 5yrs. Would love an updated version!
