“To attain real happiness, humans need to slow down the pursuit of pleasant sensations, not accelerate it”

“The most common reaction of the human mind to achievement is not satisfaction, but craving for more.”

We will replace a homo-centric world view in favor of a data-centric world view.Dataism puts together the same mathematical laws that apply to both biochemical and electronic algorithms. Dataism thereby collapses the barrier between animals and machines and expects electronic algorithms to eventually decipher and outperform biochemical algorithms.

Dataism

Human experiences like sensations, emotions, thoughts, and human values – will be eroded by advances in science and technology. We will challenge human superiority and human exceptionalism including erroneous beliefs in the uniqueness of human feelings, human sapience (reason), and free-will.

The Death of Human experiences

Homo Sapiens humans are evolving into Homo Deus (god humans) with god-like mastery over our environment. They will have the ability to create and destroy life as they wish.

Humans will become Gods

If humankind is indeed a single data-processing system, what is its output? Dataists would say that its output will be the creation of a new and even more efficient data-processing system, called the Internet-of-All-Things. Once this mission is accomplished, Homo sapiens will vanish.

The Internet of All Things 

With problems of human survival take the current pandemic for eg, humans will increasingly focus on the god-like pursuits of chasing immortality (wellness) and enduring happiness (wellbeing).

Immortality and Happiness

There will be AI technology that is smarter and more intelligent than humans. Non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms will know us better than we know ourselves, and we will increasingly rely on AI algorithms to inform and guide us in life, love, and work.

AI Sapience beats Human Feelings

The cost of upgrading the human condition will be expensive and reserved for the super-rich. The others will see jobs disappear as they are replaced by ever more efficient technology.

Growth of Useless Class

In their pursuit of immortality and happiness, humans will turn to technology to upgrade themselves through genetic engineering , bionic engineering, and AI engineering.

The Rise of Super Humans

The next step in evolution will ultimately see humans transform into pure information and in doing so break free from their carbon-based biological chains.

The End of Humanity.

“We do not become satisfied by leading a peaceful and prosperous existence. Rather, we become satisfied when reality matches our expectations. The bad news is that as conditions improve, expectations balloon.”

Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. 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.
