“In the 21st century, we will create more powerful fictions and more totalitarian religions than ever before. With the help of biotechnology and computer algorithms, these religions will not only control every minute of our existence, but will also be able to change our body, our brain, and our mind, as well as create entirely virtual worlds. Therefore, it will become increasingly difficult, but also increasingly important, to distinguish between fictions and reality, as well as religion and science.”
– Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus, 2017
