Sapiens showed us where we came from. Homo Deus shows us where we're going.
Prof Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind has become an international phenomenon attracting a legion of fans from Bill Gates and Barack Obama to Chris Evans and Jarvis Cocker, and is published in sixty languages worldwide. It was a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and was in the Top Ten for over nine months in paperback. His follow-up to Sapiens, Homo Deus- A Brief History of Tomorrow was also a Top Ten Bestseller and was described by the Guardian as 'even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens'. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, was a Number One Bestseller and was described by Bill Gates as 'fascinating' and 'crucial'. Harari worked closely with renowned comics illustrator Daniel Casanave and co-writer David Vandermeulen to create his latest book, an adaptation of his first bestseller, Sapiens Graphic Novel- Volume 1.

writer of non-fiction at the moment. As with Sapiens, you
finish the book feeling much wiser -- Matt Haig

across so many disciplines... Harrari's skill lies in the
way he tilts the prism in all these fields and looks at the world
in different ways, providing fresh angles on what we thought we
knew... the result is scintillating -- John Thornhill * Financial

exceptional clarity and focus. -- Josh Glancy * Sunday Times *
