　　所有希望掌握未來的人
　　都應該在2017年的開始
　　就先讀這本書
　　《人類大命運》會震撼你！會振奮你！
　　更重要的是，它會讓你以未曾思慮過的觀點，深思細想。

 
 — 康納曼（Daniel Kahneman），《快思慢想》作者

　　在《人類大歷史》，作者哈拉瑞展現了他「後見之明」的洞見，深刻闡述了「A Brief History of Humankind」。而在這本《人類大命運》，哈拉瑞則改以「先見之明」的姿態，提出三個大哉問，並用他一貫銳利幽默的筆調，旁徵博引，深入淺出，為我們預示了「A Brief History of Tomorrow」！

　　幾千年來，不管是中國人、印度人或是埃及人，都面臨著同樣的三大問題：饑荒、瘟疫、戰爭。這三個問題永遠都是人們的心頭大患。但是在過去幾十年間，我們竟然已經成功遏制了饑荒、瘟疫和戰爭！當然這些問題還算不上完全解決，但已經從過去「不可理解、無法控制的自然力量」轉化為「可應付的挑戰」了。我們不再需要祈求某位神祇或聖人來解救人類，而已經相當瞭解，該怎樣做就能預防饑荒、瘟疫和戰爭，而且通常都能成功。

　　如今，人類面臨的是三大新議題：

　　第一、當「死亡」將逐步走向末日，長生不老之夢可能實現，人們該如何面對？
　　第二、當幸福快樂成為天賦人權，個人主義凌駕國族主義，社會將如何變遷？
　　第三、當生物醫學工程、半機械人工程、無機生命工程持續進展，人類將從「智人」的位階躍升成為「神人」（Homo Deus），形同握有上帝的權力，那麼人類的終極命運將會如何？

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity's future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.

Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style--thorough, yet riveting--famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. 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 McDonalds 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 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.

With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
