About the Author
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 65 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.

About the author

Prof. Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. His books have been translated into 65 languages, with 40 million copies sold worldwide. 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' (2014) looked deep into our past, 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow' (2016) considered far-future scenarios, and '21 Lessons for the 21st Century' (2018) zoomed in on the biggest questions of the present moment. 'Sapiens: A Graphic History' (launched in 2020) is a radical adaptation of 'Sapiens' into a four-part graphic novel series, which Harari created and co-wrote in collaboration with comics artists David Vandermeulen (co-writer) and Daniel Casanave (illustrator). 'Unstoppable Us' (launched 2022) is Harari's first book series for children, telling the epic true story of humans and our superpower in four volumes, and featuring illustrations by Ricard Zaplana Ruiz.

Hope your are doing well :)
Since you are here, I'm gonna give you a quick recap( which, in no way,is exhaustive but will surely give you a brief idea as to what this text embodies and what lies there for you:)
Please read ahead🙂 :
The Book titled Homo Deus is a page turner
which, in itself, is a rare quality among plethora of books innudating the markets out there .
_The text examines the PAST in a meticulous manner ( He talks about Primates , sapiens and early humans dating back as far as 70,000 years! Unsurprisingly, the author is a Historian and talks precisely about DNA , biochemistry ,and not to forget Quantum Physics ) and gives a relative FUTURE (which he calls Apocalyptic and correctly so) we humans are likely to see in accordance to the Activities ( be it economic , political or cultural) and the prognosis( though the authors clarifies this to give the reader a more realistic feel) and the analysis happens to be shocking if not horrifying and equally disturbing.
The author goes about describing the ambitious transformation into Super-Human and ultimate Quest for attaining Immortality( he calls it a-mortality) and talks at great lengths about Humanism-The Purported Human Supremacy !
The book carries some really interesting stories from the past spanning the Ancient Egypt( including Pharaoes and Egyptian Gods) to Biblical Israel and Medieval China.
Every single argument the Author Makes is supplemented by statistics and mind-boggling truths.
The Book makes a compassionate and yet painful circuit by talking about the atrocities meted onto Pigs and other animals :(
And also tells some hilarious and far-reaching experiments perfomed on Animals(capuchin Monkeys for instance) ; Which are available on You-tube for us to watch !!
The text is not a monologue but elicits thoughts and utterances to some challenging but enganging Questions .
All in all , the book is a great text and is a must read for a HUMAN who at times feels sceptic , curious and equally perplexed about the future I and You are constantly heading Towards.
Thank you🙂
The book has nice fresh pages with reader-friendly font.
The delivery by Amazon was Good and timely☺️

In the era of fast-paced development and cutting-edge technology, we hardly stop to ponder how AI and tech are non-consciously defining our conscious selves. We hardly notice where our current endeavors are leading us to. But this book lays down the basics, ideas, and wisdom of the contemporary world which is important for every individual to know.
An insightful book, even better and more interesting than excellent Sapiens.
Recommended to all 5/5⭐️

The best thing about it is the way Harari effortlessly threads different fields of anthropology, biology, neuroscience, behavioural economics, economics, psychology, history and philosophy.
I would say that some of the terminology could be easier to grasp; his breakdown of the liberalism world view and dataism could go over the heads of the layman.
Harai is a visionary; and this book sets out a well-backed up case for a warning for humanity as we approach an age dominated by genetic modification, AI and super-humans.

Discussion of where we might go tomorrow is too short and badly thought through; very badly thought through in fact.
Almost like it was constructed from existing material with a new ending added on. I haven't read Sapiens yet, but I'm suspicious that might the existing material bit...

It certainly helps me come to terms with my thoughts and beliefs about religion and humanity. It turns out I am a liberal humanist, now who would have thought!
It answers questions for me, such as “why are we here” (Why does there have to be a “why”?) and “where are we going?”
If I had stopped and put my thoughts down on paper, used common sense and considered the technical and medical world as it is, I would probably have come to the same conclusion contained in the book. It’s all a bit obvious, but we don’t think of it, and so we don’t know how to answer those questions. Do we really believe medical advances are going to slow down or stop? Do we really believe that technology advances are going to slow down or stop? The answer to both is “no”.
So, if that’s the case, it’s obvious that we will inevitably achieve immortality once aging and disease have been removed.
So then what? Imagine increasing our lives by just a quarter. When do we stop work? How do we support ourselves? What meaning will we have in our long long lives? Where’s the food coming from?
I love this book and I’m going to have to read it again, because it’s difficult to take it all in the first time through.

I know some readers have criticised Hariri's sometimes sweeping statements, or questioned the depth of his technical knowledge but, for me, this misses the point. Harari is not writing an academic treatise; he has produced a unique blend of history, science, philosophy and psychology designed to make us think about the future, based on what we know about human nature from our past.
I have learned a lot that is new from the book and every page gives me a new way of thinking about things I already knew, insights which I can already relate to things that are happening around me. For example, a recent BBC2 series, 'Secrets of Silicon Valley' where extremely clever and even more extremely rich men explain to us how their technology will 'disrupt' the world we know in ways which will empower the little guy. In actual fact little guys in Barcelona can no longer buy a house thanks to Airbnb, little guys in India are taking their own lives because they cannot repay the debts that Uber 'misled' them into taking on and 'little' truck drivers are assisting in their own demise by helping to test a new fleet of driverless trucks.
Occasionally, questioning one or two of the book's more dramatic claims, I have found myself checking and researching areas of knowledge which I would never have ventured into otherwise, and learning a lot more as a result.
We all need to sharpen up our critical thinking skills as the rich and powerful pull further away from the rest of us, leaving us poorer and much more powerless.. This book helps us to do that, and does it in a intelligent, humane, witty and very, very readable way.
