Yuval Noah Harari writes history and science. We've read and reviewed 2 of Yuval Noah Harari's books, including Sapiens and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, each scored and written up in full, with a clear verdict on who it's for.
Sapiens
by Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens is big history with a thesis: that Homo sapiens came to rule the planet not through strength but through our talent for believing in shared stories. It's a sweeping, argument-driven survey that runs from the first toolmakers to the brink of bioengineering, and it wants you to argue with it.
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
by Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari follows Sapiens by asking what humanity does once famine, plague, and war stop setting the agenda. Homo Deus argues that the next projects are immortality, engineered happiness, and godlike power, and that the sciences delivering them will steadily dissolve the sovereign inner self that modern politics assumes.
