Today I want to provide a quote from Yuval Noah Harari's book Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow. The extract presents a clear idea of what the author intends by Homo Deus: a climb up the Tower of Babel from the hardships of humanity's past to perpetual longevity and earthly bliss, until that final shot at godhead itself.  

"Success breeds ambition, and our recent achievements are now pushing humankind to set itself even more daring goals. Having secured unprecedented levels of prosperity, health and harmony, and given our past record and our current values, humanity’s next targets are likely to be immortality, happiness and divinity. Having reduced mortality from starvation, disease and violence, we will now aim to overcome old age and even death itself. Having saved people from abject misery, we will now aim to make them positively happy. And having raised humanity above the beastly level of survival struggles, we will now aim to upgrade humans into gods, and turn Homo sapiens into Homo deus."
