Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari
If we take the really grand view of life, all other problems and developments are overshadowed by three interlinked processes:
1.Science is converging on an all-encompassing dogma, which says that organisms are algorithms, and life is data processing.
2.Intelligence is decoupling from consciousness.
3.Non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms may soon know us better than we know ourselves.
These three processes raise three key questions, which I hope will stick in your mind long after you have finished this book:
1.Are organisms really just algorithms, and is life really just data processing?
2.What’s more valuable – intelligence or consciousness?
3.What will happen to society, politics and daily life when non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?
