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.
Popular Highlights in this book:
- One of history’s few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations.
- There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money, no human rights, no laws, and no justice outside the common imagination of human beings.
- The secret was probably the appearance of fiction. Large numbers of strangers can cooperate successfully by believing in common myths.
- This is the essence of the Agricultural Revolution: the ability to keep more people alive under worse conditions.
