Homo Deus

About this book

Homo Deus explores the future of humanity in a world increasingly shaped by technology, artificial intelligence, and data. Yuval Noah Harari examines how humans, having gained control over many traditional challenges such as famine, disease, and war, are now seeking to achieve new goals like immortality, happiness, and enhanced intelligence. The book discusses the rise of data-driven systems and algorithms, suggesting that humans may increasingly rely on technology to make decisions. Harari introduces the concept of “dataism,” a worldview that prioritizes data processing and information flow as central to understanding life and society. Blending history, science, and philosophy, the book explores themes of human evolution, ethics, power, and the potential transformation of society as humans move toward becoming “god-like” beings with advanced capabilities.
