Book Description

Nella seconda metà del XX secolo l'umanità è riuscita in un'impresa che per migliaia di anni è parsa impossibile: tenere sotto controllo carestie, pestilenze e guerre. Oggi è più probabile che l'uomo medio muoia per un'abbuffata da McDonald's piuttosto che per la siccità, il virus Ebola o un attacco di al-Qaida.
Nel XXI secolo, in un mondo ormai libero dalle epidemie, economicamente prospero e in pace, coltiviamo con strumenti sempre più potenti l'ambizione antica di elevarci al rango di divinità, di trasformare "Homo sapiens" in "Homo Deus". E allora cosa accadrà quando robotica, intelligenza artificiale e ingegneria genetica saranno messe al servizio della ricerca dell'immortalità e della felicità eterna?
Harari racconta sogni e incubi che daranno forma al XXI secolo in una sintesi audace e lucidissima di storia, filosofia, scienza e tecnologia, e ci mette in guardia: il genere umano rischia di rendere sé stesso superfluo. Saremo in grado di proteggere questo fragile pianeta e l'umanità stessa dai nostri nuovi poteri divini?

Author portrait of Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari

Professor Harari was born in Haifa, Israel, to Lebanese parents in 1976. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is now a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He specialized in World History, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
Prof. Harari also teaches a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled A Brief History of Humankind.
Prof. Harari twice won the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality, in 2009 and 2012. In 2011 he won the Society for Military History’s Moncado Award for outstanding articles in military history.
