Since we’ve mostly "conquered" famine, plague, and war, Harari suggests our new goals will be immortality, happiness, and divinity (turning ourselves into "gods" through bioengineering and AI). Homo Deus - Uma breve histГіria do amanhГЈ
He argues that for the first time in history, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little, and more people die from old age than from infectious diseases. It’s a fascinating (and sometimes chilling) read
