Homo Deus by Noah Harari

[rainydogday]

Anyone read this? Just started, enjoying it ....I think! I like the rounds of the next one more. It's not available until the end of August.

I’ve just finished it. Enjoyed it but did find it a little repetitive. Sapient was far far better IMO.

*Sapiens

I thought Sapiens was superior too!

I haven't read any Harari, is his work something you'd recommend? Is it based on research?

He's positioned as a bit of a sage, and a publishing phenomenon as his first book sales hit the millions. The third book is obviously due as the Times magazine had a big feature on him today, and the PR machine is going all out.

I read the first to the end, but seem to have got bogged down in Deus at about p 130... Shall try again when the weather is cooler and there's more indoor time.
