Homo Deus: The million-copy bestseller from the author of Nexus

A missed opportunity. There are some good ideas in this book but I had the impression that the author wrote the third part first and then wrote the first two parts specifically to support his conclusions. Unfortunately I think the third part was the weakest. There was no mention of utilitarianism in his discussion in part two which I find either ignorant or deliberately deceptive. The book could have been a lot stronger with a serious attempt to explore utilitarianism. The other thing I find annoying is that his personal biases keep appearing in his arguments leading me to wonder how much cherry picking his been done in accumulating evidence.

It was tedious going through the first few chapters because of the enormous amount of overlap with the first book. Although the later chapters were a bit more interesting in terms of content, they are again, plagued by Dr. Harari's rather slow and meandering narration. At times I felt that it would have been better to skip/shorten some lengthy examples that he provides. All in all, I would recommend only reading this book and not Sapiens.

the biggest problem I have with this book and it's predecessor "sapiens" is all to often the author is simplifying very complex arguments and then totally misreading the answers, the author is good when he sticks to his expertise but when he branches out into other fields his over all understanding of the subjects very weak and all to often his arguments are circular over all the books are mediocre at best, I would not even say they are a good introduction
