Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari

4.0

This book dives into global philosophy, religion, moralism, ethics, and concepts of the self. An incredibly fascinating read but those anticipating a look at technology and specific predictions as to how the next generation of humans will upgrade themselves into gods will be disappointed. It is also worth mentioning that this book is rather depressing. If you’re like me you will close it with a sigh after having any shred of hope in finding meaning in god, religion, human exceptionalism, ethics, or even in life itself, utterly destroyed. The main theme seems to be “you are not special, there is no proof you even have a mind as opposed to a brain, any meaning you find is simply a story, your suffering and all suffering is for nothing”.
