Can't remember when was the last time I read something so good, something so thought provoking! something so shocking! Those who read the Sapience or anything about the human evolution or history of homo sapience, this 'Homo Deus' is about the next phase. If consciousness and intelligence define us as the superior species then hold on my friend, it's not going to be us anymore! The whole universe and everything in it run by some algorithm. Homo sapience, which is all about organisms is also set of another algorithm. Homo sapience upgraded it's surroundings even itself to a point where there is no ending! It will go on and on. You know artificial intelligence? With the help of machine learning which is also a set of an algorithm is all about having cognitive skills. We have entered the era of big data. We ourselves
consciously or unconsciously generate data every second on the internet. And internet of all things, it will make the whole process of connecting each and every human being easier. It will create a powerful network of data always moving from this to that direction for hundreds and thousands of purposes. Your every movement be it a check in, in the zoo or the movies by Facebook or Instagram, your every search in the google or youtube, your every communication through messenger or skype, every photo or video shared online are data about you. That app you use to count your calorie, your move, that wearables
you use to count your heartbeat, that fMRI you took, that ultrasonography; everything connects you to the big ecosystem of 'Data-ism'. It's a new religion, my friend! Days are coming when AI will know you better than you know yourself. To take the decision on dating someone, marrying someone or choosing a career you don't need to look for an answer from your inner self! AI will predict for you analyzing your previous history. Well, this is the bright side! If AI is so advanced and superior to human, would we become the lab rat for them in the future? That's my question. Yuval Noah Harari ended the book with 3 more crucial question. Read it. You must!
