'Interesting and provocative... It gives you a sense of how briefly we've been on this Earth' Barack Obama

This Christmas, find out what being human really means. The perfect gift for curious minds.

One of the world's preeminent historians and thinkers, Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.

In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.
