Author : Yuval Noah Harari

The author, Yuval Noah Harari, is a popular professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and is also a new and prominent historian with an international reputation. Known as a young geek, Harari’s work focuses on areas of history, anthropology, ecology, and genetics. His macro-oriented research often provides highly original and thought-provoking viewpoints that win popularity among readers from all walks of life. His book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind became an instant worldwide hit, gaining critical acclaim across dozens of countries, and achieved phenomenal success.

Key Insights from Homo Deus

  • Harari argues that humanity is on a path towards transcending its biological limitations, potentially achieving god-like powers through technology. This shift may lead to a society in which individuals are defined more by their data and algorithms than by their biological traits.
  • The book explores the future of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, questioning what it means to be human as these technologies evolve. Harari warns that the rise of superhumans and the potential obsolescence of the lower classes could reshape social structures dramatically.
  • Harari discusses the concept of 'dataism', a belief system that prioritizes the flow of data over human experience or belief. He suggests that as societies become more data-driven, traditional narratives and ideologies may lose their importance, leading to new ethical dilemmas.
