The book Homo Deus. Man is divine. Behind the scenes of the future

During the last century, mankind managed to do the impossible: curb hunger, epidemics and wars. It seems hard to believe, but as Harari explains in his signature style - perfect and captivating - famine, epidemic and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time in history, more people die from overeating than from starvation; more people die of old age than of infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals combined. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from a McDonald's meal than to be killed by Al Qaeda.
