For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonald`s than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet Earth, what destinies will we set for ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first 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." --Publisher`s Web site. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK dsolimen 2025-04-28 16:04:15 dsolimen 2025-04-29 12:23:28 13474 13307 13307 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 0 CIR 303.49 H2125 2017 SH0733 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
