Homo Deus. A brief story of the future. Harari Yu.N.

In his first book, which became the world sensation “Sapiens. A brief history of mankind ”, Juval Harari told how a reasonable man came to the dominance of our planet. “Homo Deus” is a kind of continuation of the topic - this is an attempt to look into the future. What will happen when Google and Facebook will be better than ourselves, to know our tastes, personal sympathies and political preferences? What will billions of people do displaced by computers from the labor market and formed a new, useless class? How will religions perceive genetic engineering? What will be the consequences of the transition of powers and competencies from living people to network algorithms? What should a person do in order to protect the planet from his own destructive power?..

. The main thing now, Harari believes, - to realize that we are at the crossroads and understand where the paths that extend to us lead. We are not able to stop the course of history, but we can choose the direction of movement.
