Book Description
New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century New York Times Bestseller A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)

Book Description
Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.

Book Description
The ebook is designed to be read on devices with large color displays The Kindle edition is incompatible with iOS. See below for a list of supported devices. This second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns. What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition. But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating the impact the Agricultural Revolution has had on our species. The cunning Mephisto shows them how to ensnare humans, King Hammurabi lays down the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy; the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News; the story of urbanization is portrayed as a travel brochure, offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China; and the history of inequality unfolds in a superhero detective story; with guest appearances by historical and cultural personalities throughout such as Thomas Jefferson, Scarlett O'Hara, Margaret Thatcher, and John Lennon. Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 is a radical, witty and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for adults and young adults, and can be read on its own or in sequence with Volume I.

The philosophy of our Mediology (or MultiMediology), which becomes a kind of galleon book of the catastrophic present in Human Sapient, so MultiMediology of Human Sapient will do everything in correlating Cosmology – Biology and Ontology within the sameness of Species, by revealing it by self – revealing it, as a revelation of biology and intelligibility, of matter and light, of spirit and sensations, Geist und Sinnlichkeit... Please, don’t be scared, I’m not a pessimist or an extra-pessimist, I’m not a desastrionist, or a disastrologist, or a sinistrologist or a catastrophologist, or an apocalyptologist or an armageddonologist, because I’m a realist, a moderate optimist, and I think, just a deep rationalist, but what is happening in the world, in man, in human, in Human Sapient, in these first decades of Millennium Three, MNIII, exceed all the limits of normal, rational and balances of morality, all the limitations of common sense and good human conduct or Human Sapient conduct and behavior... ...We are as an individual and a community, clearly entering the world of evil and darkness, the world of dramatic surrealism, reflected by the Hindu theological concept KALI-YUGA, the world of generalized, viral and moral diseases (Covid is the pandemic of immoral human, a pathology of human in all directions, and, the possible sign of a divine revelation), in the world of bacterial and pathogenic diseases etiological, globalized and generalized of Covido-Human, which is the symmetry of ontogenic and psychogenic diseases, from this human reflected in its maximum Human Sapient, naming here man as the over-exploiter and over-exhauster of all planetary sources and resources, namely them fuel, water, air, soil, subsoil, atmosphere, lithosphere and ionosphere, natural fuel fire extinguisher, natural resources, by reaching to the limit of his own self-extinction, of self-flagellating in vulnerabilities, fragility and co-morbidities, all in endlessly collapsing, at loggerheads of Human with oneself...

The Human, the Sapient-into-Human, is devouring himself/ herself, as in the tragedies of the ancient worlds, exemplified through Ouroburos Sapientic that bites itself in times and spaces, that develops and expands, both in digitization and virtualization, and in its own DeSapientization... ...We have clearly entered into the battles of the Species, the battles of Sapiens, the Moiria / Fatum destiny of Sapiens, in which the human, the Sapiento-homospheres are fighting, are conflicting with the geological lithospheres, with the biological hydrosphere, with the accompanying and orbiting atmospheres and cosmospheres, but with all, in extreme sharpening against themselves. The human being fights primarily with the Sapiento-Human homosphere, so a struggle of the Sapiens within oneself, which also has heights (few, very few), but especially falls, falls and falls, a cascade of viral wars, of military wars, of migratory wars - pathologies all associated with hurricanes of water and fire and terrorism, with earthquakes and volcanoes, with tornadoes and flashes of anger and cosmological, geological, climatological and biological rages, with human catastrophe, by having in this catastrophic center, the Human Sapient, as trigger, as accelerator and amplifier of biological and ontological self-extinction and, threatening the entire biotope and biorhythm of the planet, but essentially threatening itself, becoming the pathological center Corona of the mutant through Delta-variants and the Omicron super-mutant, numbered by the fateful number 8.1.1.529...
