Los primeros dos tercios son muy similares a Sapiens, y la última parte, que trata sobre el futuro, es demasiado corta para un libro que dice que trata sobre el futuro. Sigue siendo un libro muy interesante, pero no te da lo que buscas cuando compras un libro llamado "una historia del mañana"

The second Harari book I’ve read and I found it phenomenal. It’s based on prognostications of the future as it relates to humankind. Despite some dated material based on our recent response to the pandemic, predicting how well humans would react to, wipe out, and control a viral outbreak through technology and cooperation, the majority of the book was incredibly fascinating insights into how humans will change and respond to technological breakthroughs, religious upheavals, and economic challenges. Extensively thought provoking.

This book is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend it enough. Makes you really think about the world and what is going on around us.

Not as good as Sapiens. The intro needs to be updated in a post COVID world because the pandemic contradicts his arguments there.

It took me a full year and a half to finish this since I didn't feel like reading nonfiction books.

Because of our opposing views on life, I found myself fervently annotating and debating almost everything this author said. The main reason I like the first book so much more than Homo Deus is that it tells the story of humanity instead of being filled with speculations and hypotheses. Compared to the first book, this one lacked the historical background and specific examples that I found interesting in Homo Sapiens
3.25/5 stars

Project Wisdom Bookclub.  Boring and disappointing after Sapiens.
