The book’s title refers to the ultimate ambition Harari sees embedded in these trajectories: the transformation of Homo sapiens into something more than human — godlike beings who have conquered death, engineered bliss, and taken conscious control of their own evolution. This is not presented as inevitable or even desirable, but as the logical endpoint of current trajectories if they continue unchecked. The ancient gods of mythology could create life, know the future, and live forever. These are now becoming engineering problems rather than theological ones.
