“Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” is a non-fiction book that was released in the year 2014.

How did our little species succeed in the fight for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors get together to create these cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in nations, gods, and human rights? How did we gain a trust in money, laws and books, as well as get enslaved by bureaucracy, consumerism, and timetables? What is our world going to be like in the millennia to come?

In this, Yuval spans all of human history, from the very first humans that walked the earth to the very radical, as well as sometimes devastating, breakthroughs of the Scientific, Cognitive, and Agricultural Revolutions. Drawing on the insights from paleontology, biology, economics, and anthropology, he looks into how the currents of history have shaped the plants and animals all around us, our human societies, and even our own personalities.

Have we gotten happier while history unfolds? Will we ever free our own behavior from the heritage of our ancestors? What, if anything, are we able to do to influence the course of the centuries to come?

“Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow” is a non-fiction book that was released in the year 2017. Over the past hundred years mankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in things like war, famine, and plague. This might seem pretty hard to accept.

But like Harari explains in his signature (thorough, yet captivating) plague, war, and famine has been turned from uncontrollable incomprehensible forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the very first time ever, more people are dying from eating far too much rather than too little, more die from old age than infectious diseases. More are committing suicide than getting killed by criminals, soldiers, and terrorists combined. The average American is one thousand times more likely to die binging at McDonald’s than from getting blown up by Al Qaeda.

What would then replace war, famine, and plague at the top of mankind’s agenda? In the role of self-made gods of Earth, what destinies are we going to give ourselves, and what are the quests we are going to undertake? This book explores the dreams, nightmares, and projects that are going to shape the twenty-first century; from creating artificial life to overcoming death. It asks the fundamental questions: How are we going to protect this fragile world from our own destructive abilities? Where will we go from here? This is the next part of evolution. It is known as Homo Deus.
