Are we expecting the appearance of our upcoming successor, Homo Deus? Yuval Noah Harari, one of the most fascinating historians and philosophers of our time, records in his novel “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”, a series of reflections on the course of humanity, work that served as the inspiration for the theatrical text (R) Evolution by Yael Ronen and Dimitrij Schaad.

At the same time, the same technology can lead to digital dictatorships, in which our data becomes a tool in the hands of a few. Algorithms define the labor market. Humans experience symbiotic relationships with artificial intelligence and virtual realities. What does all this mean for “free will”? A new world is being created around us whose challenges we are called upon to face and understand its utopian and dystopian dimensions.
