Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original and provocative book. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. As Harari explains, famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. Now, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century. This is the next stage of evolution.
