What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?

Om forfatteren
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.
