Some time ago I read Harari’s Homo Deus. Although I did not consider it a very original book, I found it offered a detailed discussion about how beliefs in science, economics and other fields have shaped the  world and will keep on shaping it.

Hariri presented an interesting discussion about how societies are manipulated by a few. Here the communist elite in Romania, with dictator Ceasescu back in the seventies (Wikipedia)

Harari focuses on what is happening now with humankind’s desire to re-engineer everything.

One item I did not like were his references to the Internet of Things. I am not an expert on it but even I could see he just needed to talk about it too without having a grasp about it. At least that is my take. All in all, it was an interesting reading.
