In his first book, which became a worldwide sensation, "Sapiens. A Brief History of Mankind", Yuval Harari described how Man the Intelligent 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 likes and political preferences better than we do? What will the billions of people displaced by computers from the labor market and forming a new, useless class do? How will religions perceive genetic engineering? What will be the consequences of shifting authority and competence from living humans to networked algorithms? What should humans do to protect the planet from their own destructive power?...? The key now, Harari believes, is to realize that we are at a crossroads and to understand where the paths before us lead. We cannot stop the course of history, but we can choose the direction we want to go.
