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.
##很长一段时间里读到的真正意义上的科幻作品。因为它展示了一个我还没想过的未来,虽然是不想去的未来。数据信仰这个概念值得思考,对教育系统更是有深刻的提示作用。其实阿西莫夫基地系列与机器人系列最后结合的那一本已经提到了整个银河系的conscious being应该结成一个统一的有机体,每个生灵都是这个机体的一分子一细胞。《未来简史》更进一步,提出一旦数据和算法控制整个体系,最终人的价值将不再有特殊性,也许就可以退出历史舞台了。当然,这本书对问题的分析还是太简单化了。事情永远没有那么简单的。再说,人总是高估自己的技术。2019了,仿生人和空中飞车连影儿都没呢,2001过去了18年,人类连月球都没兴趣再去。走着瞧吧,该干嘛干嘛。
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##强烈推荐,确实如作者所说,这只是对未来的猜测,不过这样的未来正在发生。新一轮的革命属于算法。问问自己,人和机器人相比,未来还具备什么优势?-1400+
评分##將宗教作為人類現象的科學哲學版
评分##前面部分真是有点啰嗦了,作者属于举例子狂人,幸好最后一部分提出了几个挺有意思的观点补回票价,总体是推荐的。
评分##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##Commuting读物,终于读完了,影响非常大,在我看来这本书最核心的其实是瓦解自由意志,所以不会有几个人真正理解到这一层,因为理解就意味着否定人文主义自由主义和人类存在的意义,所以读完的那一刻,我内心的那个自我就已经跳楼自杀了。
评分##过去一个月在上班的公交车上断断续续读完。人类未来的命运道路或许从来没有像现在这样充满不确定性,但能够亲眼见证Dataism对Humanism的冲击,也是这个时代给我们的最大福利。接下来打算读这个作者的前一本书Sapiens
评分##真的好啰嗦。。没有sapiens写的满,感觉疯狂灌水。
