This pursuit is described as the creation of a "digital god" by individuals who lack traditional faith and are deathly afraid of their own mortality.

The global elite are increasingly viewing death as a technical problem with a potential technical solution. Harari posits that in the future, the wealthy may buy an "exemption from death" through advanced medicine and genetic engineering, while the poor continue to die. This transhumanist agenda is championed by Silicon Valley figures like Ray Kurzweil, who believe biological limitations can be overcome through technology.
