About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

**THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLER**

Sapiens showed us where we came from. In our increasingly uncertain times, Homo Deus shows us where we're going.

The world-renowned historian and intellectual Yuval Noah Harari envisions a near future in which we face a new set of challenges. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century and beyond - from overcoming death to creating artificial life.

It asks the fundamental questions: how can we protect this fragile world from our own destructive power? And what does our future hold?

'Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. It will make you think in ways you had not thought before' Daniel Kahneman, bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow

Brilliant, insightful, well researched and thought-provoking vision of the future of mankind. Disturbing and saddening in parts to realise the accuracy of his observations and logical extrapolation into the Brave new world that may await us.

Brilliant vision of where we might be heading

Hadn't read the previous book, and it really isn't necessary to have done so.... although by the end you'll probably want to read it!

Full of fascinating ideas on the future and insights to the past. Quite heavy content which is probably best taken at a slower pace to allow digestion. The narrator is superb and really helps make it an easier book to listen to than you'd expect!

Read it... before human kind gets wiped out by artificial intelligence.... the robots are coming....

Read this... before we all get wiped out by AI :-)

Definitely worth the read/listen, for me it pulled together ideas that were somewhere in my mind into a coherent view of possible futures.

Thought Provoking and Chilling

A perfect follow up if Sapiens. He starts in the same surprising way of seeing things. However, towards the end, it gets too speculative without actually adding information.

Great start, surprising, but missed a punch

I found the ideas' somewhat radical. Often the book moves into grey areas', but the logical threads are reasonably sound.
I would heartly recommend it.

Enjoyable- but extremely speculative.

a great listen. performance is great as is the content, as long as it's remembered it is conjecture.

very interesting and thought provoking.

This is very good and a lot of interesting stuff. It’s not quite as good as Sapiens but that is hard to surpass. It’s striking that some of the thoughts now seem a bit overtaken by developments since this was published just a few years ago. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Harari is currently writing something to reflect on Covid - the early part of the book is a bit dismissive of pandemics and seems a bit naive in retrospect!

Pretty interesting, though amazing how quickly time makes things seem slightly dated

Harari never fails to constantly engage our minds in extraordinary detail, I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the future and ethics of our society

Excellent

Dataism, Humanism even Jainism, this book covers a lot of isms. I enjoyed it and feel like I'm not alone in my view of the world and the impacts data and technology is reshaping our futures. The funny thing is, it already has changed society, but because it has happened so fast, a lot of people still don't even see it.

It took me two attempts to finish this book. It took me two years to return to this book because I was waiting for a new audible credit. It's almost impossible to maintain 100% focus on everything that is being said, but once I accepted that, I managed to get through it and learn enough to make the whole experience with while.

Has a lot of data!
