**THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLER**

Sapiens showed us where we came from. In our increasingly uncertain times, Homo Deus shows us where we're going.

The world-renowned historian and intellectual Yuval Noah Harari envisions a near future in which we face a new set of challenges. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century and beyond - from overcoming death to creating artificial life.

It asks the fundamental questions: how can we protect this fragile world from our own destructive power? And what does our future hold?

'Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. It will make you think in ways you had not thought before' Daniel Kahneman, bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow

Critic Reviews

Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before. (Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow)
Shows us where mankind is headed in an absolutely clear-sighted and accessible manner
Even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens (Kazuo Ishiguro)
An exhilarating book that takes the reader deep into questions of identity, consciousness and intelligence
A brilliantly original, thought-provoking and important study of where mankind is heading.
Spellbinding… a quirky and cool book, with a sliver of ice at its heart
An intoxicating brew of science, philosophy and futurism.
Yuval Noah Harari is the most entertaining and thought-provoking writer of non-fiction at the moment. As with Sapiens, you finish the book feeling much wiser (Matt Haig)
An exhilarating book that takes the reader deep into questions of identity, consciousness and intelligence… Harari is a naturally gifted explainer, invariably ready with a telling anecdote or memorable analogy. As a result, it’s tempting to see him less as historian than as some kind of all-purpose sage. (Andrew Anthony)
Sets out with enviable (and alarming) lucidity the massive challenges now facing our species as genetic technologies, AI and robotics alter forever our relationships with one another and with other species. It’s even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens. (Kazuo Ishiguro)

Brilliant hypothesis, intensely explained and thoroughly plausible.

I hope many read this book and work towards averting the stories outcome!

Hopefully just a hypothetical

Hearing where we are honestly heading is not a fairytale unless you’re an original Grimms fan.
This confronting book stops you in your tracks and allows us to take account of everything around us.
New religions and why they are gathering momentum is a growth humanity needs to keep up with technology.
I found the book quite freeing as it allowed me the validity to be confused and bewildered knowing most others are also.
Well written and narrated in an extremely engaging way.
You had me hooked with Sapiens but Homo Deus is the next chapter I’m not sure I wanted but had to have.

Not for the faint hearted.
