具体描述
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.
Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda.
What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.
With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
用户评价
##写历史水平的高低在于能否对同一历史事件的多角度观察。
评分想起Coursera一门耶鲁开的美国宪法课上教授说到，率先给予女性选举权的是西部的怀俄明和犹他州，因为男女人口差距悬殊，目的是吸引女性前来定居。人权当然是靠争取来的，但它并不天生正确，而是因为有需要。哲学推理不能证明人人生而平等，之所以认可是因为权衡之后还是这样比较好。古时未必没有诞生过人文主义者，只是没有发展的土壤。事情会发生是因为可以，不是因为正确，如果人类可以被抛弃，为什么不？会有新的理论来为此作支撑。
评分##真的好啰嗦。。没有sapiens写的满，感觉疯狂灌水。
评分##听了一半准备弃了，yuval大概是很好的历史学家，但是这一本完全就是pop science啊，也不是他的本专业，感觉毕竟牵强。我比较认同的是凭什么humancentric，也认为接下来的一两百年人类会因为科技而进化成跟现在非常不相同的“人类”，到时候道德会成为全新的不同问题。
评分##机场读物鸡头（complexity wise) 。什么都说了一点，什么也没说。大概是一种，here are some interesting facts, what do you think? 的读物。
评分##经万维钢提练后，也是分了五部分陈述了书内的主要内容。很不过瘾，希望可以买到原文亲眼过一遍。
评分##A must read. 表面上看起来是一本讲人类未来的书，但如作者自己所说，他并非在做预测,更不是危言耸听或者暗藏某个政治或者经济动机。更多的是作者结合目前人类科学和科技的发展、回顾人类历史和人性本身来探讨将来人类很有可能会面对的世界。感觉回到了大学时代，教授的智慧对话，引发学生思考。 It's philosophy, a warning，and a perfect way to engage everyone who cares to start a debate about humanity and future.
评分##通过Audible有声书听读完的。当然并不赞同一些观点，但是的确能够激发新的思考，比如：人本主义的合理性，感受和经历的价值，信息是否应该为王，人能否为自己的生命负责。
评分##机场读物鸡头（complexity wise) 。什么都说了一点，什么也没说。大概是一种，here are some interesting facts, what do you think? 的读物。
