Homo Deus. Scurta istorie a viitorului: Romanian 2018

Sapiens showed us where we came from. Homo deus shows us where we are going. Throughout history, mankind has been confronted with three crucial issues: war, famine, and plagues. In the twentieth century, he managed to solve them to a great extent. The war no longer has the same power of destruction: the number of those who commit suicide is now higher than those who died in armed conflict. Famine disappears: people suffer from obesity rather than from malnutrition. Molims no longer worsen: more people die of old-age than infectious diseases. But what about the place of war, hunger and plagues in the agenda of mankind? What destiny will we choose for ourselves, what goals will we establish? Yuval Noah Harari explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will mark our future. Man will try to become such gods, defeating death and creating artificial life. It is even the next stage of evolution - Homo deus. \"A remarkable book with profound insights and reinterpretations of the things we thought we knew about us and about our history. A very intelligent book, full of peculiar observations and biting irony ... An unusual book, a cool book.\" (The Guardian) \"Like the great epochs, Sapiens needed a sequel. This is Homo deus, in which the future of all the apocalyptic probabilities is imagined in detail, it is a fascinating screenplay of countless ways we could fail because we want too much. \" (The Observer) A remarkable book with profound insights and reinterpretations of what we thought we knew about
