Story
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six species of human inhabited the Earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo Sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? In Sapiens, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history.

Story
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson’s quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know.

He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Quelle singularité nous a permis de s'unir pour créer villes et empires, l'idée de religion, les concepts politiques de nation ou plus récemment des droits de l'homme ?

Story
Dip below the ocean’s surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals, and serpulid worms, whose rooted bodies, intricate geometry, and flower-like appendages are more reminiscent of plant life or even architecture than anything recognizably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom — the Metazoa— they can teach us much about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.
Written by: Peter Godfrey-Smith
Publisher's Summary
International best seller
From the author of the international best seller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind comes an extraordinary new book that explores the future of the human species.
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the best-selling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. In Homo Deus, he examines our future with his trademark blend of science, history, philosophy, and every discipline in between.
Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams, and nightmares that will shape the 21st century - from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.
War is obsolete.
You are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict.
Famine is disappearing.
You are at more risk of obesity than starvation.
Death is just a technical problem.
Equality is out - but immortality is in.
What does our future hold?
What the critics say
Editorial Review
Humanity has generally overcome many of the major problems it had to face in the past: war, famine and plagues. Now, it can turn its attention to different problems, such as scientific advancement and improving quality of life. But as technology takes over the world, what does it mean for us humans? The title of the audiobook is derived from the Latin “Homo”, meaning human, and “Deus”, meaning God. We are achieving things that we once thought were impossible and are shedding some of our most fundamental values, such as religion. Humans are getting exponentially close to their image of the immortal and omnipotent God, but what are the repercussions of this evolution? Yuval Noah Harari explored the history of all of humankind in his international best-seller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, Harari looks forward to what the future may hold for us. His refreshing insights bring forth some unexpected ideas and ethical issues based on his knowledge as a historian. Homo Deus was well received by critics, and was listed as one of the top ten nonfiction books of 2017 by Time Magazine - an impressive feat, considering the controversial nature of some of the topics he addresses. Award-winning audiobook narrator Derek Perkins once again lends his voice to Yuval Noah Harari to bring his ideas to life.

Accept minor defects and enjoy this book
I listened to Harari's Homo Sapiens and Homo Deus back-to-back. As for Homo Sapiens, I really enjoyed listening to an audiobook with a reasonably entertaining blend of insights, history, and science. And Homo Devous did not disappoint me in having 15 hours more of that.
There is something I should note though. As I was listening, every now and then Harari talked about a topic that I knew about to a good extent and I couldn't not notice that he spices things up, adds a little drama to the topic or to the history of it, so that what he says is not a fully accurate reflection of the reality. I realized that if he views the topics I know about in that way, he should have a similar, spiced up view about other topics that I don't know much about.
So, as long as you understand and accept that, you will enjoy this book very much.

love this book
If you didn't like Sapiens because it reminded you of a textbook, I feel as if Homo Deus did the exact opposite by placing his opinion, beliefs, tboughts, etc. The research is so good, though I must say the audible book made it seem boring. The author's writing is both formal yet causal if that made it feel smooth. The voice actor made it seem dull and plain, but I still read this book and listen in to the audible book only because it's long.

Not a sequel, in a delightful way
I believe Harari have managed to escape repeating himself very well in his second book in this series. You can read this book independently from the first one, and still appreciate it. This book is intended to be futuristic, but digs into history time to time, which I found very enjoyable.
As a techie, when Harari talks about data science or singularity of machine and men, I found his elaboration not very technically accurate, but still acceptable. That being said, he adds a deeper and more philosophical layer to his elaboration that I never found in other books on the subject.

Bonkers
This is half-baked vision of the future (with no evidence to support). It’s not a future I want to be a part of either. Predictions of people living to 500 years old, cyborgs, genetically engineered people with 3 hands, everyone on psychiatric medications. Sorry, I think he missed the mark on this book.
I was looking forward to being inspired by this book, but was severely disappointed. I have read other books by the author (more historical books) which were very good. But this one is a flop unfortunately. Little to no evidence to support his forecasts, and he paints a very depressing vision of the future.
