Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow By Yuval Noah Harari | Full Audiobook | Part 1

Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow is a book written by Israeli author Yuval Noah Harari, professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The book was first published in Hebrew in 2015 by Dvir publishing; the English-language version was published in September 2016 in the United Kingdom and in February 2017 in the United States.

As with its predecessor, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Harari recounts the course of history while describing events and the individual human experience, along with ethical issues in relation to his historical survey. However, Homo Deus (from Latin "Homo" meaning man or human and "Deus" meaning God) deals more with the abilities acquired by humans (Homo sapiens) throughout their existence, and their evolution as the dominant species in the world. The book describes mankind's current abilities and achievements and attempts to paint an image of the future. Many philosophical issues are discussed, such as humanism, individualism, transhumanism, and mortality.

I first read this book in 2015 when I was 17 years old. I think it's a must read for everyone

[DakBetterThanYourFavoriteQB]

This is such a good book I have already read it, now I am going to listen to it; then I am going to read it again. I want every word seared into my brain.

[jaleshelly]

AI reader. As much as i was curious, I couldn't listen to this. Will have to physically read the book.

[sudhirpatel]

Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes. 🌌

7:27:39

Solving plague, famine, and war, what’s next for humans? Immortality, bliss, and divinity.

From animist to Anthropocene, how humans became gods

Interpreting consciousness, how to understand emotions from algorithmic firing of neurons

Small groups are egalitarian but large groups are largely unequal, using complex inter-subjective ideas (myths) to maintain order

Writing shapes reality

Monotheism is more powerful than polytheism when uniting people, albeit being “less true”

Science can only argue about facts, religion argues, in addition, about values

In the pre-modern world, we view the world as a fixed pie. Now all nations, albeit different in methods, all pursue the growing pie

Humanism and happiness as divine meaning

[Omargharbi]

90 percent of this book is about the past though

I disagree. I think theres a black box of a self outside of the physical which is can be choosing, or that it is genuine choosing which shows up as deterministic physically. One may not choose all desires but they can choose which desires to indulge, believe it or not!

[kityfitz]

Fab book but oh that AI fake voice … horrid!

[crisfilms]

Sounding like a constipated robot. AI narration makes the content sound a bit more evil which is nice though

[meridianheights]

Sounds well written, but the narration is terrible. Weird pauses, mispronounced words, and too fast paced. Maybe listen on slow speed might be better. I think the narrator is an AI being with no understanding of how grammar and voice inflection work. Oh well...

[annakorecka-brukalo]

So very hard to listen... AI is far behind a human reading

[donaldedward]

Sounds like a machine. I read 2 of his books and am disappointed. I cannot listen to this.

[sinisak.]

Harari should stick to topics he realy understands, like history... present it like colection of facts like he did with "sapiens"...

He is no "modern wiseman" as much as he tries

[sangitasharma]

Sorry to say. Such a bad way to read a book. The reader is hurrying too much as if he needs to pee as soon as he finishes reading this 🙄🙄🙄. Where are the full stops, commas and all. The listeners cannot follow if you read it like a bullet train. Second bring some emotions to the reading rather than reading like an AI. Bad bad bad 1/ 5 only for the effort
