My
rating :
“Today having power means knowing what to ignore.”
The
portrait of mankind I was left with after finishing Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity was so gloomy that I have to admit I am ready to believe, with some dark,
twisted satisfaction, in the prophecy of its extinction made by the same author
in his equally disturbing sequel, Homo
Deus – A Brief History of Tomorrow.
As the
title suggests, Harari makes some predictions concerning the future of
humanity, based on social, psychological, economical and biological facts, all
which seem to point to the same direction – the end of mankind as we know it.
