Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari
4.0
A good, but perhaps not excellent sequel to Sapiens. On occasion, it spends more time than it needs retreading concepts already established in Sapiens, but that does help to make this a suitable standalone for anyone that hasn't already read Sapiens.
Regarding whether this is worth a read, Harari's narrative style and the questions he poses (quite literally, as the book ends with "three key questions") make it engaging enough to stick through to the end (the first and final chapters were the most engaging, while the rest occasionally meandered, seeming at times unsure of where they were headed). If you're someone that already has read/is aware of/has spent time thinking about the impact of technology on humanity's medium-long term future, you'll probably get more out of Sapiens than Homo Deus; but even so, you may find that Homo Deus reframes your view on the subject in an (as of yet for you) novel way.
