Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow — Yuval Noah Harari

Description

By Yuval Noah Harari

Having largely brought famine, plague and war under control, humanity will look for something else to do. Harari’s argument is that the next projects are immortality, engineered happiness and the acquisition of god-like powers.

He then asks the harder question: what happens to human value once intelligence separates from consciousness, and algorithms know us better than we know ourselves. The follow-up to Sapiens.
