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 McDonald's 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" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Harari Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 909.83 Ha Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Harari Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.83 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
