Homo Deus. Краткая история будущего

In his first book, which became a worldwide sensation, Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity”, Yuval Harari told how Homo sapiens came to dominate our planet. "Homo Deus" is a kind of continuation of the theme - it is an attempt to look into the future. What will happen when Google and Facebook know our tastes, personal sympathies and political preferences better than we do? What will the billions of people forced out of the labor market by computers and formed 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 people to network algorithms? What should a person do to protect the planet from his own destructive power? .. The main thing now, Harari believes, is to realize that we are at a crossroads, and to understand where the paths that stretch before us lead. We cannot stop the course of history, but we can choose the direction of movement. Translator Andreev A.
