Alors que Sapiens examinait le passé et Homo Deus explorait notre avenir, 21 leçons pour le XXI e siècle se penche sur nos grandes questions contemporaines. Comment nous protéger d'une guerre nucléaire, de cataclysmes écologiques ou d'un désordre technologique ? Que faire contre l'épidémie de « fake news » ou la menace du terrorisme ? Que devons-nous enseigner à nos enfants ?
Yuval Norah Harari nous entraîne dans un palpitant voyage au coeur des sujets les plus brûlants de l'actualité. Pour y répondre, il aborde différents domaines tels que les technologies, la politique, les religions, l'art... mais aussi des sujets plus personnels, comme la résistance ou la méditation. Au coeur de ce nouveau livre, le lien entre les individus et les collectivités que nous devons à tout prix préserver face aux changements incessants.
Il y a 100 000 ans, la Terre était habitée par au moins six espèces différentes d'hominidés. Une seule a survécu. Nous, les Homo Sapiens.Comment notre espèce a-t-elle réussi à dominer la planète ? Pourquoi nos ancêtres ont-ils uni leurs forces pour créer villes et royaumes ? Comment en sommes-nous arrivés à créer les concepts de religion, de nation, de droits de l'homme ? À dépendre de l'argent, des livres et des lois ? À devenir esclaves de la bureaucratie, des horaires, de la consommation de masse ? Et à quoi ressemblera notre monde dans le millénaire à venir ?Véritable phénomène d'édition, traduit dans une trentaine de langues, Sapiens est un livre audacieux, érudit et provocateur. Professeur d'Histoire à l'Université hébraïque de Jérusalem, Yuval Noah Harari mêle l'Histoire à la Science pour remettre en cause tout ce que nous pensions savoir sur l'humanité : nos pensées, nos actes, notre héritage... et notre futur.
Sapiens décrivait la façon dont les humains ont conquis le monde par leur capacité unique de croire à des mythes collectifs tels que les dieux, l'argent, l'égalité et la liberté. Homo Deus, nous offre une vision de ce que le monde deviendra quand à ces mythes millénaires s'allieront des nouvelles technologies démiurgiques comme l'intelligence artificielle et la manipulation génétique.
Que deviendra la démocratie quand Google et Facebook connaîtront mieux que nous nos goûts et nos préférences politiques ? Qu'adviendra-t-il de l'Etat providence lorsque les humains seront évincés du marché de l'emploi par les ordinateurs ? Alors que l'Homo Sapiens devient un Homo Deus, quel nouveau destin sommes-nous en train de nous forger ? Ce livre nous donne un aperçu des rêves et des cauchemars qui façonneront le XXIè siècle.

Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. #1 New York Times Bestseller The Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, now available as a beautifully packaged paperback From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution--a #1 international bestseller--that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human." One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens , returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity's future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style--thorough, yet riveting--famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century--from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
Discover humanity's past and its future in this in this special box set featuring the bestselling Sapiens --a reading pick of President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg--and its acclaimed companion Homo Deus.
