Piece from Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari

Throughout history, most gods were believed to enjoy not omnipotence but rather specific super-abilities such as the ability to design and create living beings; to transform their own bodies; to control the environment and the weather; to read minds and to communicate at a distance; to travel at very high speeds; and ofcourse to escape death and live indefinitely.  Humans are in the business of acquiring all these abilities, and then some. Certain traditional abilities that were considered divine for many millennia have today become so common place that we hardly think about them. The average person now moves and communicates across distances more than the Greek, Hindu or African gods of old.
