Prof. Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. His books have sold 40 million copies in 65 languages, and he is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. Sapiens was recommended by Barack Obama and Bill Gates, revolutionizing the non-fiction market and popularizing ‘brainy books’.
Following the international success of his books, Yuval Noah Harari co-founded Sapienship, a social impact company with projects in the fields of entertainment and education. Its main goal is to focus the public conversation on the most important global challenges facing the world today. In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Harari stopped to take the pulse of our current global climate, focusing on the biggest questions of the present moment: What is really happening right now? What are today’s greatest challenges and choices? What should we pay attention to?
“History began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods”
