IMO, I thought it was better, particularly because of the predicted advancements and the potential impact on humankind.Chris OConnor wrote:Hey Ant! Long time no see.
So how did it compare to Sapiens?

Should I read this first before Homo Deus?

I do think reading Sapiens first is a good idea.

I actually did the whole series of his books backwards.. Just now reading Sapiens.
I really don't think it matters but in retrospect I would have rather started from Sapiens.

Homo Deus was good. I really think we're headed in the direction N H predicts.
oh, and yes, the new religion will be big data.
data is power - zero question about it.

This book is amazing! I just read part one but I did not realize how unique it was for us (Homo Sapiens) to possess a language. Also, I was fascinated by the fact that we can cooperate with others such as this website itself!
