A Brief History of Tomorrow

Thanks for the heads up but oh no ... more hour long Youtube videos !!

As far as reaching a certain view of Humanity's future based on the current Western trajectory, I think he was being rather kind actually.
He summarised pretty well the move from "authority from on high" through to "authority from my feelings" through to the present "authority from the data/science/social media/Google/Youtube etc."
I didn't get the impression he was dismissing the numinous, just accepting that in general it is not a significant factor in Mankind's current direction.

Interestingly he dared to express doubts about Western Man's cherished twins of "free will" and "my reliable feelings" so at present he is one of the little boys pointing out in public that the Emperor has no clothes, which never goes down very well.
Most religions, all advertising, politics, money fleecing, economic theories and selling of food and other things that are detrimental to human life, rely strongly on pitching that the average person has and can rely on those twins, whilst benefiting from the fact they are mostly illusions.

Probably his ideas about where this will lead depends on whether technology continues in the way it has and is not disrupted by natural disasters or the Second Coming, which wotsup seems pretty confident is likely to begin around mid September this year if I understand what he is saying .. which admittedly is a long shot.

As time permits I'll be interested to see some of Mr Harari's question and answer sessions.

Good comments Copperbod.
My initial impression was tempered a little by the last few minutes where he made some made some statements about the possibility of modifying some of the outcomes in either a positive or negative way, allowing some degree of free will. Also that his hypothesis may not eventuate.
What is a bit more alarming is his 500-page book and the future for us as humans as we know ourselves now know ourselves.
He writes about 'immortality' artificial life, and overcoming famine, plague and war.
We could become Homo Deus, self-made gods.
Optimistic? or alarming?

The book is written in an engagingly literary style, a very good read.

Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. 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 McDonalds 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. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
