It's impossible for everyone to become a god. Then, what about the ordinary people who haven't become gods?

Put aside these questions, let me introduce you to yuval harari.

history begins with people creating gods, and ends with people becoming gods, from how human beings win to their ultimate destiny.

A Brief History of the Future is an impressive and interesting masterpiece. Compared with yuval harari's famous A Brief History of Mankind, this book is more readable and interesting.

most importantly, it will subvert your way of thinking, your cognition and refresh your world view.

At the beginning of A Brief History of the Future, it is clearly pointed out that "all our species are facing great challenges because gene technology, artificial intelligence and robot technology are constantly changing the relationship between people and between people and other species".

Then present the truest side of history (Homo sapiens conquers the world and gives meaning to it) to readers with clear writing and unique perspective, and then let us see the ultimate fate of mankind in an easy-to-understand way:

"Artificial intelligence and bio-gene technology are reshaping the world, and mankind is facing a brand-new issue. Life itself is a process of constantly processing data, and biology itself is an algorithm; Computers and big data will know ourselves better than ourselves. In the future, only a few people will complete the next biological evolution and upgrade to "God Man" with new characteristics, while the vast majority of the rest will completely become "worthless groups" of useless classes! " .

After reading A Brief History of the Future with a strong curiosity, I felt an indescribable feeling:

If you can't be happy, what's the point of being immortal?

if you can be happy, decades will be enough to smile!

However, the most terrible result is that there are unpredictable and immortal lunatics like in movies, and then the whole world will be enslaved.

what do you think we can do then?
