2, A Brief History of Humankind explores where humans came from, subverts our perception of human evolution, and clarifies the major veins affecting human development. What is it about humans? Are we incomparably intelligent animals? Is the era going to be post-human? In A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Hraley integrates cutting-edge knowledge from a number of disciplines, including biology, history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, economics, and political science, to break down the limitations of disciplines and thinking, and to present a new interpretation of human history.

3. A Brief History of the Future focuses on where humanity is going, refreshes our imagination of the future, and sets off a new wave of thoughts on AI discussion. After entering the 21st century, the plague, famine and war that once threatened human survival and development for a long time have been overcome, and Homo sapiens is faced with new pending issues: immortality, happiness and becoming a "divine" human being. In the process of solving these new problems, the development of science and technology will subvert a lot of "common sense" that we now think we don't need to support, for example, the free will that humanism promotes will face serious challenges, and machines will replace human beings to make wiser choices. More importantly, when the development of science and technology represented by big data and artificial intelligence becomes more and more mature, human beings will face a huge change since the evolution of homo sapiens, and the vast majority of people will be reduced to a "worthless group", and only a small portion of people can evolve into a trait change of the "god man Only a small number of people will evolve into "divine beings" with changed traits. Where do we go from here?

4. A Brief History of Today turns its attention to the present, confronting the problems and challenges that concern the fate of each of us today. Yuval? Hurley argues that in such a polarized world, we have lost faith in the old story, and the new story is far from reaching **** knowledge. Human society now faces three major challenges: technological disruption, ecological collapse and nuclear war. The identity of "nation" is no longer sufficient to meet today's challenges, and no single nation can solve the problem of preferability on its own. Artificial intelligence and biotechnology are destabilizing the structure and distribution of society, and data is becoming an important resource. How can data ownership be regulated when data giants know more about us than we do, and when "online" becomes a way of life? Is it possible to build a community of choice that upholds human freedom and equality? Artificial intelligence and biotechnology have given humans the ability to reshape and redesign life. How do we use this ability to put on another big new show?
