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\" -- provided by publisher.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31964854780019,"sku":"9781784703936","price":328.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/homo-deus9781784703936-308983.jpg?v=1752690112"},{"product_id":"9781784708283","title":"21 Lessons For The 21st Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions?

But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. International and political tensions are rising. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI - an alien information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?\n \n Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has brought us here. Taking us from the Stone Age through the canonisation of the Bible, the invention of print, the rise of mass media and the recent resurgence of populism, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how systems like the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church and the Soviet Union have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.\n \n Information is not the raw material of truth, nor is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes and, in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43961270108275,"sku":"9781529933611","price":328.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/714eoPgaUBL._SY466.jpg?v=1759927442"},{"product_id":"9780241766989","title":"Unstoppable Us Volume 3","description":"Why is the world not always a peaceful place?\n Why do we have wars?\n And why do we sometimes . . . not?\n \n The answer to these questions can be found in one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear.

Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?\r\n\r\nMost 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.\r\n\r\nDr. 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?\r\n\r\nFeaturing 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.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45359200731251,"sku":"9781911717263","price":556.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/81lIUmROkWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1787913770"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/de\/collections\/yuval-noah-harari-books.oembed","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
