Yuval Noah Harari, writer of the bestselling Sapiens: A BRIEF OVERVIEW of Humankind, envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. Now, in Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of research, history, beliefs and every self-discipline in between.

Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that may form the twenty-first century – from overcoming death to creating artificial existence. It asks the essential questions: Where do we proceed from here? And exactly how will we defend this fragile world from our own damaging powers? This is the next stage of advancement. That is Homo Deus.

Battle is obsolete

Famine is disappearing

You are in more risk of obesity than starvation

Death is just a technical problem

Equality is out – but immortality is within

Exactly what does our future hold?
