Countdown of Yuval Harari’s China Debut in 2017: Mysteries of Future are About to Be Revealed
2017-05-24
Following the phenomenal bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: a Brief History of Tomorrow is released to bring about dramatic changes to readers’ views. It is boldly predicted in Homo Deus that, in the future, 99% of human beings will constitute the “useless class”, whose human qualities and abilities are simply redundant; however, the other 1% will become Homo Deus who can overcome death with algorithms and biotechnology – the latter group will dominate the future as a new species of human beings.
The change maker is Yuval Harari. He is a talented Jewish author and young historian who has always been considered “a maverick genius”. He, in his thirties, has written about two-million-year evolution of human beings.
With Sapiens in 2012 to Homo Deus at present, Harari is starting a discussion of human’s evolution in the future.
Will the descriptions in Homo Deus become realities in the future? Who will decide the fate of the “useless class” who may account for 99% of human beings? Will all classes in the human society finally settle down and remain eternally unchanged? Will Homo Deus, the 1% of human beings, be able to embrace a new round of evolution?
Currently in the ever-changing world, people’s old wisdoms and perceptions are constantly overturned. Whether you are politicians, ordinary people, entrepreneurs, or investors, it is essential to understand trend of the future.
If another round of evolution for human beings has begun, we will, tomorrow, see a map of the coming evolution and open the gate to the future.
