Sapiens. A Brief History of Humankind

By combining a scientific approach with historical analysis, Dr. Yuval Harari questions many commonly accepted ideas, uncovers connections between past events and our contemporary concerns, and examines individual events within a unified global context. Tracing how developing humanity has influenced the global ecosystem and analyzing the fates of empires, Dr. Harari looks into the future.

Who do we want to become, and where will it lead us?
