nerdicwalker 's review for:
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
by Yuval Noah Harari
The book took longer than expected. It needed time Not just because it has nigh on 500 pages but because it is thought provoking I needed time to digest to think to allow the content to sink in with my own thought patterns.
Though it is scientifically sounds, and quite philosophical it is also readable and enjoyable It has a sense of humor and insight into the bigger picture.
I enjoyed it I recognized some of the patterns that I think are happening It felt right to read and think with and about.
Still I did not give it 5 stars and that is because of it’s open end. At the same time I know the writer cannot do anything but open end a book that is a brief history of tomorrow It is not finished nor will it ever be but it leaves me strangely dissatisfied at the end. The book has not closure, not ending and yet it is not open ended either. Because of that feeling it is 4 stars for me. And with that statement I actually may be answering the truth for me that is hidden in the last few questions posed in the book.
Quite-the history of tomorrow is open ended and predictions are just that. Things may change due to unforeseen events. But also a book like this, written in 2015/2016 ages faster yet still holds thoughts we need to continue to look at
