Homo Deus

Yuval Noah Harari is a bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the Twenty-First Century, and Sapiens: A Graphic History. His works have sold over 35 million copies worldwide in 65 languages, and he is widely regarded as one of the world's most important public intellectuals today. According to The Guardian, Sapiens is credited with transforming the non-fiction market and popularizing "brainy books."

Yuval Noah Harari, author of the highly acclaimed New York Times bestseller Sapiens and international phenomenon, returns with an equally unique, fascinating, and challenging book, this time focusing on humanity's destiny and our drive to elevate people to godhood.

Over the last century, humanity has accomplished the impossible by containing famine, plague, and conflict. This may sound difficult to comprehend, but as Harari explains in his signature comprehensive, yet compelling approach, famine, pestilence, and war have been converted from inexplicable and uncontrolled natural forces into manageable tasks. For the first time in history, eating too much kills more people than eating too little; old age kills more people than contagious diseases; and suicide kills more people than soldiers, terrorists, and criminals combined. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from a McDonald's binge than from an Al Qaeda bombing.

So, what will take the place of famine, plague, and conflict at the top of the human agenda? What destinies will we set for ourselves as self-made gods of planet Earth, and what journeys will we undertake? From transcending death to creating artificial life, Homo Deus delves into the ambitions, dreams, and nightmares that will influence the twenty-first century. It poses fundamental questions such as, "Where do we go from here?" And how will we save this fragile world against our own destructive forces? This is the next evolutionary stage. This is called Homo Deus.

Harari draws out our future with the same intelligence and clarity that made Sapiens an international sensation and a New York Times bestseller.
