Why read it?

Harari is better known by this book’s predecessor, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. However, I enjoyed this book much more. Why? I study human evolution, so even though I enjoyed how the author summarized human history in Sapiens, starting from prehistoric African times, I realized that some ideas are based on wrong or dated information.
However, this book builds on the last portion of Sapiens, the future of humankind. I love speculative hard science fiction, especially those that combine human evolution with dystopian futures. So, of course, I enjoyed this “non-fiction” book.
From Sergio's list on the big picture of human nature and evolution.
Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow is a thought-provoking and insightful book that takes a deep dive into the future of humanity.

The book provides a compelling analysis of how science, technology, and human progress intersect, while also offering ideas and predictions about the future.
The author challenges readers to think about the state of current trends and how we can better shape our future touching on…
