A Book to Understand the Brief History of Mankind

About This Novel

This book is based on the classic work of Israeli historian Yuval Harari. Through the folding of time and space of 70,000 years, this book reveals the ultimate code for Homo sapiens to leap from an ordinary species in the corner of Africa to the master of the earth. With the cognitive revolution, agricultural revolution, and scientific revolution as the three pillars, the book penetrates the weaving logic of fictional stories such as religion, currency, and empire, and analyzes how human beings use collective imagination to build the pyramid of civilization. From the awakening of the universe under the Galileo telescope, to CRISPR genetic scissors reshaping the laws of life; from the TikTok algorithm cocoon splitting social consensus, to the blockchain's impact on US dollar hegemony - this book not only presents the historical paradox of wheat domesticating humans and technology backlashing civilization, but also focuses on contemporary issues such as brain-computer interface and climate crisis, and provides 12 thinking keys to help readers break through in the era of uncertainty. The book runs through multidisciplinary perspectives and casts the Big Bang of physics, biological evolution, and the dilemma of digital civilization into a cognitive lens. It is not only an in-depth deconstruction of the ideological essence of "A Brief History of Humanity", but also a forward-looking response to the 21st century dilemmas such as the metaverse and AI anxiety, and ultimately points to the ultimate question of a community with a shared future for mankind: When the ability of fictional stories not only allows us to conquer the earth, but also brings the risk of self-destruction, can Homo sapiens keep the glimmer of humanity on the way to becoming "gods"?
