《人類大命運》會震撼你!會振奮你!更重要的是,它會讓你以未曾思慮過的觀點,深思細想。—— 康納曼(Daniel Kahneman),《快思慢想》作者【作者新版序言+新增史證修訂】在《人類大歷史》,作者哈拉瑞展現了他「後見之明」的洞見,深刻闡述了「A Brief History of Humankind」。而在這本《人類大命運》,哈拉瑞則改以「先見之明」的姿態,提出三個大哉問,並用他一貫銳利幽默的筆調,旁徵博引,深入淺出,為我們預示了「A Brief History of Tomorrow」!幾千年來,人類一直面臨三大問題:饑荒、瘟疫、戰爭,但如今,這三大問題已經從過去「不可理解、無法控制的自然力量」轉化為「可應付的挑戰」了。饑荒、瘟疫和戰爭發生的次數及頻率,都確實在下降,現在是史上首見,每年營養過剩而死亡的人數超越營養不良;年老去世的人數超越染疫而亡;全球自殺身亡的人數甚至超越被暴力殺害的人數……展望未來,人類面臨的是三大新議題:第一、當「死亡」將逐步走向末日,長生不老之夢可能實現,人們該如何面對?第二、當幸福快樂成為天賦人權,個人主義凌駕國族主義,社會將如何變遷?第三、當生物醫學工程、半機械人工程、無機生命工程持續進展,人類將從「智人」的位階躍升成為「神人」(Homo Deus),形同握有上帝的權力,那麼人類的終極命運將會如何?讀歷史正是看著這些「意義的網」的編織和拆散,並讓人意識到,對這個世代的人來說最重要的事情,很有可能對他們的後代變得毫無意義。——第3章〈人類的獨特之處〉金錢、宗教、國家、公司……這些故事只是工具,不該成為目標、甚至標準。一旦我們忘了這些都只是虛構,就會開始與現實漸行漸遠。於是,可能只是為了「替公司賺很多錢」或是「保護國家利益」,就讓我們掀起無邊戰火。公司、金錢和國家,都只存在於我們的想像之中。是人類發明了這些概念,好讓它們為人類服務;但為什麼最後反而是人類要為這些概念服務,甚至犧牲性命?——第4章〈說書人〉現代科學和宗教的關係,究竟為何?這個問題似乎早已提了百萬遍,能說的早已說完。但實際上,科學和宗教就像夫妻,上了五百年的婚姻諮商,仍然未能真正瞭解彼此。他還是一心想著灰姑娘,而她也還是一心念著白馬王子,但兩人卻吵著該輪到誰倒垃圾。——第5章〈一對冤家〉二十一世紀初,進步的列車又將再次離站,而且這可能是「智人」這站發出的末班車。錯過的人,永遠
