The History of Tomorrow (Hebrew: ההיסטוריה של המחר) is a book written by by Israeli author Professor Yuval Noah Harari from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The book was published in 2015 by Dvir publishing. As with its predecessor, ''Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind'', Harari inspects the course of history while describing events and the individual human experience along with ethical issues derived from history. The History of Tomorrow, as apposed to the previous book, deals more with the abilities acquired by mankind (homosapiens) throughout the years of its existence while basing itself as the dominant being in the world, and tries to paint an image in regards to the future of mankind if any. Throughout the book, many philosophical aspects are inspected, such as the human experience, individualism, human emotion and consciousness. Likewise, the book showcases the current abilities and achievements of mankind. == Central thesis == * Since the verbal/language revolution around 70,000 years ago, human beings live within "imaginary orders" such as countries, borders, religion, money, all created by man in order to enable large-scale cooperation between different individual human beings. * Humankind's immense ability to give meaning to its actions and thoughts is what enabled it to carry out its many achievements. * Humanism, worship of humankind, putting mankind and its desires as a top priority in the world while basing itself as the dominant being. * The threat which technology has over humankind and humanism and the continued ability of humankind to give meaning to its life under new conditions which have arisen and prophesying the coming replacement of humankind with a super-man or a Homo Deus (God-man) endowed with supernatural abilities such as eternal life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The History of Tomorrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
