vulcan9110 's review for:
Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow
by Yuval Noah Harari
I’ve just finished ‘Homo Deus’ by Yuval Noah Harari and I give it four stars. It is the sequel to ‘Sapiens’ and is subtitled ‘a brief history of tomorrow’.
This is not a book that can be considered a history of the future but more a prediction based on the behaviours of today.
Humans integrating with technology in a cyborg like nature, as our phones are already an extension of us, with the rich upgrading their organs with such procedures out of reach of the poor as the wealth distribution gap grows.
We will also accept the merger of organic and machinist algorithmic behaviours, living the optimal and predictable life that can be bought through algorithms and computer processing speeds - ‘Google’ will predict which of the two dates we should choose to go on for maximum compatibility, it’ll replace Doctors and solve our ailments in seconds or predict the beginning of the next pandemic.
Overall, interesting but perhaps not the future that I will live to see.
