Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus peers beyond history to ask what happens when humanity’s greatest triumphs—over famine, plague, and war—leave us searching for new frontiers. Having solved survival, Harari argues, we now chase godlike powers: engineered life, artificial intelligence, and digital immortality. But what does progress look like when algorithms outthink us, or when data becomes the ultimate source of power?

Through bold thought experiments, he imagines a world where human intuition yields to code, where politics bends to data empires, and where selfhood itself becomes optional. Homo Deus isn’t just a prediction—it’s a mirror held up to our ambitions. It asks, with unsettling clarity, whether the pursuit of perfection might cost us the very thing that made us human in the first place.
