Aborted the book on page 148. While Harari has a decent way of writing, I absolutely disagree with his thesis and I don't like his cherry picking in human history and science. Plus, I dislike his way of selling his personal view of humankind as "the truth".

*Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow*
*Author: Yuval Noah Harari*
*Genre:* Non-fiction - History/Technology/Science
*Moods:* Informative, Reflective
*Pace:* Slow
Having read Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century in the trilogy, I was eager to dive into Homo Deus, expecting a deep exploration of the future of humanity—one where Homo sapiens evolve into a superior, technology-driven species.
While the book does offer glimpses into the challenges that Homo sapiens may face in an era of artificial intelligence and enhanced beings, much of it still revolves around the history and evolution of humans and animals. This heavy focus on the past, rather than a forward-looking analysis, made parts of it feel repetitive, especially for those already familiar with Harari’s earlier works.
From a historical perspective, Homo Deus is well-researched and insightful, but when it comes to discussing the role of non-conscious intelligence in shaping the future, it remains quite surface-level. It provides an engaging but somewhat scattered collection of historical narratives rather than a compelling roadmap of what’s to come.
For the uninitiated, this book is a fascinating blend of history, philosophy, and speculative thought. However, for readers who have already absorbed Sapiens, much of it may feel like a rehash—intriguing in parts but lacking the depth expected from a book about the future.
My Rating: 3.5/5
