Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari ist der Weltstar unter den Historikern.
In "Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit" erzählte er vom Aufstieg des Homo Sapiens zum Herrn der Welt. In "Homo Deus" ging es um die Zukunft unserer Spezies. Sein neues Buch schaut auf das Hier und Jetzt und konfrontiert uns mit den drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit.
Wie unterscheiden wir Wahrheit und Fiktion im Zeitalter der Fake News? Was sollen wir unseren Kindern beibringen? Wie können wir in unserer unübersichtlichen Welt moralisch handeln? Wie bewahren wir Freiheit und Gleichheit im 21. Jahrhundert? Seit Jahrtausenden hat die Menschheit über den Fragen gebrütet, wer wir sind und was wir mit unserem Leben anfangen sollen. Doch jetzt setzen uns die heraufziehende ökologische Krise, die wachsende Bedrohung durch Massenvernichtungswaffen und der Aufstieg neuer disruptiver Technologien unter Zeitdruck. Bald schon wird irgendjemand darüber entscheiden müssen, wie wir die Macht nutzen, die künstliche Intelligenz und Biotechnologie bereit halten. Dieses Buch will möglichst viele Menschen dazu anregen, sich an den großen Debatten unserer Zeit zu beteiligen, damit die Antworten nicht von den blinden Kräften des Marktes gegeben werden.
21 lessen voor de 21ste eeuw (Dutch Edition)
Yuval Noah Harari
Wat zijn de uitdagingen van onze tijd? Hoe beschermen we onszelf tegen een nucleaire oorlog, ecologische rampen en technologische bedreigingen? Wat is de oorzaak van de opkomst van populisten als Donald Trump? Hoe weren we ons tegen fake news? Moeten we ons voorbereiden op een nieuwe wereldoorlog? Wat moeten we denken van het opkomend nationalisme? Vragen de mondiale problemen die op ons afkomen om andere politieke systemen? Is het wel een goed idee dat enkele grote commerciële spelers beschikken over onze data, of wordt het tijd om het eigendom van data te reguleren? En wat wordt de grote nieuwe wereldmacht, Amerika, of toch Europa? In dit boek beantwoordt Yuval Noah Harari de 21 meest urgente vragen van onze tijd.
21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Yuval Noah Harari
In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today's most pressing issues.
How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.
In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?
Harari's unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.
21 lezioni per il XXI secolo
Yuval Noah Harari
In un mondo invaso da informazioni irrilevanti, la lucidità è potere. La censura non opera bloccando il flusso di informazioni, ma inondando le persone di disinformazione e distrazioni. 21 lezioni per il XXI secolo si fa largo in queste acque torbide e affronta alcune delle questioni più urgenti dell’agenda globale contemporanea. Perché la democrazia liberale è in crisi? Dio è tornato? Si prospetta una nuova guerra mondiale? Che cosa significa l’ascesa di Donald Trump? Che cosa si può fare per contrastare l’epidemia di notizie false? Quale civiltà domina il mondo: l’Occidente, la Cina o l’islam? L’Europa deve tenere le porte aperte ai migranti? I nazionalismi possono risolvere i problemi legati all’ineguaglianza e ai cambiamenti climatici? Che fare per arginare il terrorismo? Che cosa dobbiamo insegnare ai nostri figli? Miliardi di persone possono a stento permettersi il lusso di approfondire simili questioni, perché pressate da ben altre urgenze: andare al lavoro, prendersi cura dei figli o dei genitori anziani. Purtroppo la storia non fa sconti. Se il futuro dell’umanità viene deciso in vostra assenza, perché siete troppo occupati a dar da mangiare e a vestire i vostri bambini, voi e loro ne subirete comunque le conseguenze. Certo è molto ingiusto; ma chi ha mai detto che la storia sia giusta? Un libro non dà alle persone cibo o vestiti, però può offrire un po’ di chiarezza, contribuendo ad appianare le differenze a livello globale. Se questo libro riuscirà a far sì che anche solo una manciata di persone si unisca al dibattito sul futuro della nostra specie, allora avrà fatto il suo dovere.
Da animali a dèi: Breve storia dell'umanità
Yuval Noah Harari
Centomila anni fa almeno sei specie di umani abitavano la Terra. Erano animali insignificanti, il cui impatto sul pianeta non era superiore a quello di gorilla, lucciole o meduse. Oggi sulla Terra c’è una sola specie di umani. Noi. L’Homo sapiens. E siamo i signori del pianeta. Il segreto del nostro successo è l’immaginazione. Siamo gli unici animali che possono parlare di cose che esistono solo nella nostra immaginazione: come divinità, nazioni, leggi e soldi. Non riuscirete mai a convincere uno scimpanzé a darvi una banana promettendogli che nel paradiso delle scimmie, dopo la morte, avrà tutte le banane che vorrà. Solo l’Homo sapiens crede a queste storie. Le nostre fantasie collettive riguardo le nazioni, il denaro e la giustizia ci hanno consentito, unici tra tutti gli animali, di cooperare a miliardi. È per questo che dominiamo il mondo, mentre gli scimpanzé sono chiusi negli zoo e nei laboratori di ricerca. "Da animali a dèi" spiega come ci siamo associati per creare città, regni e imperi; come siamo arrivati a credere negli dèi, nelle nazioni e nei diritti umani; come abbiamo costruito la fiducia nei soldi, nei libri e nelle leggi; come ci siamo ritrovati schiavi della burocrazia, del consumismo e della ricerca della felicità.
Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit
Yuval Noah Harari
Krone der Schöpfung?
Vor 100 000 Jahren war der Homo sapiens noch ein unbedeutendes Tier, das unauffällig in einem abgelegenen Winkel des afrikanischen Kontinents lebte. Unsere Vorfahren teilten sich den Planeten mit mindestens fünf weiteren menschlichen Spezies, und die Rolle, die sie im Ökosystem spielten, war nicht größer als die von Gorillas, Libellen oder Quallen. Vor 70 000 Jahren dann vollzog sich ein mysteriöser und rascher Wandel mit dem Homo sapiens, und es war vor allem die Beschaffenheit seines Gehirns, die ihn zum Herren des Planeten und zum Schrecken des Ökosystems werden ließ. Bis heute hat sich diese Vorherrschaft stetig zugespitzt: Der Mensch hat die Fähigkeit zu schöpferischem und zu zerstörerischem Handeln wie kein anderes Lebewesen.
Anschaulich, unterhaltsam und stellenweise hochkomisch zeichnet Yuval Harari die Geschichte des Menschen nach und zeigt alle großen, aber auch alle ambivalenten Momente unserer Menschwerdung.
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
Yuval Noah Harari
Humans today enjoy unprecedented levels of power and an increasingly god-like status. The great epidemics of the past – famine, plague and war – no longer control our lives. We are the only species in history that has single-handedly changed the entire planet, and we can no longer blame a higher being for our fate.
But as our gods take a back seat, and Homo Sapiens becomes Homo Deus, what are we going to do with ourselves? How do we set the agenda for our own future without pushing our species – and the rest of the world – beyond its limits?
In this vivid, challenging new book from the author of Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari examines the implications of our newly upgraded condition, from our dogged pursuit of status and happiness to our constant quest to overcome death by pushing the boundaries of science. He explores how Homo Sapiens conquered the world, our creation of today’s human-centred environment, our current predicament and our possible future. And, above all, he asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers?
Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow
Yuval Noah Harari
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.
Homo Deus: Breve historia del mañana
Yuval Noah Harari
Tras el éxito de Sapiens. De animales a dioses, Yuval Noah Harari vuelve su mirada al futuro para ver hacia dónde nos dirigimos.
La guerra es algo obsoleto. Es más probable quitarse la vida que morir en un conflicto bélico.
La hambruna está desapareciendo. Es más habitual sufrir obesidad que pasar hambre.
La muerte es solo un problema técnico. Adiós igualdad. Hola inmortalidad.
¿Qué nos depara el futuro?
Yuval Noah Harari, autor bestseller de Sapiens. De animales a dioses, augura un mundo no tan lejano en el cual nos veremos enfrentados a una nueva serie de retos. Homo Deus explora los proyectos, los sueños y las pesadillas que irán moldeando el siglo XXI -desde superar la muerte hasta la creación de la inteligencia artificial.
- Cuando tu Smartphone te conozca mejor de lo que te conoces a ti mismo, ¿seguirás escogiendo tu trabajo, a tu pareja y a tu presidente?
- Cuando la inteligencia artificial nos desmarque del mercado laboral, ¿encontrarán los millones de desempleados algún tipo de significado en las drogas o los juegos virtuales?
- Cuando los cuerpos y cerebros sean productos de diseño, ¿cederá la selección natural el paso al diseño inteligente?
Esto es el futuro de la evolución. Esto es Homo Deus.

Homo Deus: Breve storia del futuro
Yuval Noah Harari
Nella seconda metà del XX secolo l'umanità è riuscita in un'impresa che per migliaia di anni è parsa impossibile: tenere sotto controllo carestie, pestilenze e guerre. Oggi è più probabile che l'uomo medio muoia per un'abbuffata da McDonald's piuttosto che per la siccità, il virus Ebola o un attacco di al-Qaida.
Nel XXI secolo, in un mondo ormai libero dalle epidemie, economicamente prospero e in pace, coltiviamo con strumenti sempre più potenti l'ambizione antica di elevarci al rango di divinità, di trasformare "Homo sapiens" in "Homo Deus". E allora cosa accadrà quando robotica, intelligenza artificiale e ingegneria genetica saranno messe al servizio della ricerca dell'immortalità e della felicità eterna?
Harari racconta sogni e incubi che daranno forma al XXI secolo in una sintesi audace e lucidissima di storia, filosofia, scienza e tecnologia, e ci mette in guardia: il genere umano rischia di rendere sé stesso superfluo. Saremo in grado di proteggere questo fragile pianeta e l'umanità stessa dai nostri nuovi poteri divini?
Homo Deus: een kleine geschiedenis van de toekomst
Yuval Noah Harari
God is dood, de mens beheerst de aarde. Maar wat gebeurt er als de mens zélf maakbaar wordt? Als we onszelf niet alleen steeds beter kunnen genezen, maar ook kunnen 'verbeteren'? Als Homo sapiens verandert in Homo deus, hoe zal onze toekomst er dan uitzien? In Sapiens beschreef Yuval Noah Harari de geschiedenis van de mensheid. Nu verschijnt het meesterlijke vervolg. Dit is de volgende stap in onze evolutie. Dit is Homo Deus.

Homo Deus. Краткая история будущего
Yuval Noah Harari
В своей первой книге, ставшей всемирной сенсацией "Sapiens. Краткая история человечества", Юваль Харари рассказал, как Человек Разумный пришел к господству над нашей планетой. "Homo Deus" является своего рода продолжением темы - это попытка заглянуть в будущее. Что произойдет, когда Google и Facebook будут лучше, чем мы сами, знать наши вкусы, личные симпатии и политические предпочтения? Что будут делать миллиарды людей, вытесненных компьютерами с рынка труда и образовавших новый, бесполезный класс? Как воспримут религии генную инженерию? Каковы будут последствия перехода полномочий и компетенций от живых людей к сетевым алгоритмам? Что должен предпринять человек, чтобы защитить планету от своей же разрушительной силы?..
Главное сейчас, полагает Харари, - осознать, что мы находимся на перепутье, и понять, куда ведут пути, простирающиеся перед нами. Мы не в силах остановить ход истории, но можем выбрать направление движения.

Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI
Yuval Noah Harari
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.
For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. 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. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?
Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history 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.
Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.
Niepowstrzymani 1. Jak przejęliśmy władzę nad światem
Yuval Noah Harari
Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman? Nie. Prawdziwym bohaterem jesteś ty i posiadasz fantastyczną supermoc! Żeby zrozumieć, jaka może być potężna i niebezpieczna, musisz przeczytać tę książkę!
Ziemią – na każdej szerokości geograficznej: od afrykańskich sawann po czapy lodowe Grenlandii – rządzą ludzie. Ale jak to się stało, że dysponujemy taką potęgą? Yuval Noah Harari, autor bestsellera Sapiens, pokaże wam, że posiadamy wielką siłę, dzięki której wciąż tworzymy najprzeróżniejsze dziwne i tajemnicze rzeczy: od duchów i demonów po rządy i korporacje.
Jak dzięki ogniowi udało nam się zmniejszyć żołądki? Co gra w piłkę nożną mówi o byciu człowiekiem? I dlaczego spośród wszystkich bajek najwięcej osób uwierzyło w tę o pieniądzach? Dowiecie się tego, podążając śladami pradawnych ludzi, którzy wyruszyli tysiące lat temu z Afryki. To historia ludzkości, jakiej wcześniej nie znaliście. Poznacie karły i gigantyczne węże, Wielkiego Ducha Lwa mieszkającego ponad chmurami i ujrzycie... palec sprzed kilkudziesięciu tysięcy lat (!), który ujawnia tajemnice pochodzenia człowieka.
W tej wciągającej i barwnej książce, która jest pierwszym tomem większej serii, profesor Harari przedstawia się młodym czytelnikom. Ale w rzeczywistości Niepowstrzymani są lekturą dla każdego (od lat 9 do 109!), kto kiedykolwiek zadał sobie pytanie: Kim jesteśmy i skąd się tu wzięliśmy?
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Yuval Noah Harari
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.

Sapiens: Een kleine geschiedenis van de mensheid
Yuval Noah Harari
Honderdduizend jaar geleden leefde de Homo sapiens nog een tamelijk onbekommerd bestaan in een uithoek van het Afrikaanse continent en deelde hij de planeet met ten minste vijf andere menssoorten. Maar op een zeker moment onderging het brein van deze mens een ingrijpende verandering: nu kon hij zich plots verbeelden dat het gras elders wel eens groener zou kunnen zijn, en dus maakte hij zich op om de wereld te veroveren. In Sapiens neemt Yuval Noah Harari ons mee op een fascinerende reis door de geschiedenis van de mensheid. Wie zijn we? Waar komen we vandaan? En hoe zijn we zo geworden als we nu zijn? In zijn aanstekelijke relaas laat Harari ons kennismaken met het meest dominante wezen op aarde: de mens.
Sapiens: En innføring i menneskehetens historie
Yuval Noah Harari
For over 100 000 år siden fantes det seks ulike menneskearter på jorden. I dag finnes det kun en. Oss. Homo sapiens.
Hvorfor ble nettopp vår art så fremgangsrik og dominant? Hvordan har det seg at vi skapte byer og kongeriker? Hvorfor begynte vi å tro på guder, nasjoner og menneskerettigheter? Hvorfor setter vi vår lit til penger, bøker og lover? Hvordan ble vi så kuet av byråkrati, forbruk og jakten på lykke?
Sapiens er en fantastisk spennende, tankevekkende og engasjerende bok om menneskehetens historie, og er på kort tid blitt en internasjonal bestselger. Med imponerende letthet manøvrerer Yuval Noah Harari mellom ulike forskningsområder og perspektiver når han tar oss med fra homo sapiens' første skritt på jorden og frem til i dag.

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: Краткая история человечества
Yuval Noah Harari
Сто тысяч лет назад Homo sapiens был одним из как минимум шести видов человека, живших на этой планете, – ничем не примечательным животным, которое играло в экосистеме роль не большую, чем гориллы, светлячки или медузы. Но около семидесяти тысяч лет назад загадочное изменение когнитивных способностей Homo sapiens превратило его в хозяина планеты и кошмар экосистемы. Как человек разумный сумел покорить мир? Что стало с другими видами человека? Когда и почему появились деньги, государства и религия? Как возникали и рушились империи? Почему почти все общества ставили женщин ниже мужчин? Как наука и капитализм стали господствующими вероучениями современной эры? Становились ли люди с течением времени счастливее? Какое будущее нас ожидает?
Юваль Харари показывает, как ход истории формировал человеческое общество и действительность вокруг него. Его книга прослеживает связь между событиями прошлого и проблемами современности и заставляет читателя пересмотреть все устоявшиеся представления об окружающем мире.
