Homo Deus

“Homo Deus, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics.

“Homo Deus, successor to Sapiens? Good, but nowhere near as good as Sapiens. Sapiens I think is the best book of the last decade that I have read. I loved Sapiens and I highly recommend it for everybody here. Homo Deus is a sequel and I think you all know that Harari is a genius, but the issue he had was, he had decades to write Sapiens. Then his editors probably said, “Wow! That made a lot of money, so can you please crank out a second book right away?” So they come up with one in a year or two and call it Homo Deus. Homo Deus is very insightful and very clever and very smart, but it’s basically got one big idea at the center. When you figure out that one idea, you don’t need to finish the whole book. Whereas with Sapiens, there’s lots and lots of great ideas in there and it’s just full of them, chock full per page.
