He maps the future and asks fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? How will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? Harari's 2018 book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, takes the pulse of the global climate, focusing on the biggest questions of the moment: What is really happening right now? What are today's greatest challenges and choices? What should we pay attention to? In 2020 Harari joined forces with comics artists David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave to create Sapiens: A Graphic History, a radical adaptation of the original Sapiens into a graphic novel series. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and President Barack Obama have recommended Sapiens as a must-read.In his 2015 book, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, Harari explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the 21st century - from overcoming death to creating artificial life. Sapiens has sold more than 21 million copies and been translated into more than 50 languages. His answer: We are the only animal that can believe in things that exist purely in our imagination, such as gods, states, money, human rights, corporations and other fictions, and we have developed a unique ability to use these stories to unify and organize groups and ensure cooperation. Harari's 2011 book, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, explores what made homo sapiens the most successful species on the planet. Harari regularly connects broad historical questions to current global events in mainstream media, and has written and spoken extensively on the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relationship between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded? These topics are explored in his books, which have sold more than 40 million copies in 65 languages. Yuval Noah Harari lectures as a professor of history at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he specializes in world history, medieval history and military history.
