Homo Deus. A Brief History of the Future

In his first book, which became a global sensation "Sapiens. A Brief History of Humankind", Yuval Harari described how Homo sapiens came to dominate our planet. "Homo Deus" is a sort of continuation of this theme - it is an... attempt to glimpse into the future. What will happen when Google and Facebook are better than we are, knowing our tastes, personal preferences, and political inclinations? What will billions of people, displaced from the labor market by computers and forming a new, useless class, do? How will religions perceive genetic engineering? What will be the consequences of the transfer of powers and competencies from living beings to network algorithms? What must humans do to protect the planet from their own destructive power?..
The main thing now, Harari believes, is to realize that we are at a crossroads and understand where the paths stretching before us lead. We cannot stop the course of history, but we can choose the direction of movement.
