In the possibility of a society dominated by superhumans and A.I. as presented in the book Homodeus, humans will seek coexistence through a new form of resistance, the anti-datacratic movement, to defend their rights and selfhood.

It may not be the end, but rather the beginning of the evolution of a new form of existence. Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens offers insight into how the convergence of technology and humans will change the future of humanity...

Cyborg engineering changes human identity by expanding human capabilities and creating collective memory banks through brain-computer connections. It changes the nature of human existence, eventually evolving us into new beings and leading to our own demise.   In Yuval Harari’s “Sapiens,” there’s a line that reads. “Attempts to improve us will inevitably fail, because even if the...

As we remake ourselves with advanced biotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence, we are in danger of losing our identity as Homo sapiens. This book is a warning about whether the technologies we create will propel us forward or redefine our existence and lead to our demise.   How long can we, humans, live? Death is always around the corner in our lives. We can die for a variety of...

Advances in biotechnology raise the possibility that it could change the nature and social structure of Homo sapiens.

The Avengers – Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, and...

In Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari warns that data religion could threaten humanism, but he argues that the dominance of non-organic algorithms over humans doesn’t necessarily lead to negative consequences, and that it has the potential to strengthen the human ego.   Yuval Noah Harari concludes the book with a discussion of data religion in his book Homo Deus. According to Datacology, as...
