What readers sayAbout Homo Deus.
The part about algorithms knowing us better than we know ourselves is both fascinating and terrifying. Started questioning what data I'm giving away.
Harari argues we might become irrelevant as AI improves, which sounds bleak but made me think about what actually matters. Got me into philosophy.
Some predictions feel dated already and others seem too pessimistic, but the questions he raises are worth sitting with.
The observation that we're upgrading from Homo sapiens to Homo deus got me thinking about bioethics. Started reading more about gene editing.
Made me aware of how much I depend on technology to feel human. Took a week offline after watching and realized how much I missed real thinking.
