Discover humanitys past and its future in this special box set featuring the bestsellingSapiensa reading pick of President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerbergand its acclaimed companionHomo Deus.

Renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari became an instant international sensation with the publication of his worldwide bestselling book Sapiens, which has since been translated into over 65 languages and served as the blueprint for his provocative follow-up, Homo Deus.

In Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radicaland sometimes devastatingbreakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions.

Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Bold and wide-ranging,Sapiensintegrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage...and our future.

In Homo Deus, Harari turns his focus toward our unknown future and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.

While humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war over the past century, these are still countless challenges ahead of us. 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 Deusexplores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first centuryfrom overcoming death to creating artificial life--and predicts the next stage of evolution.

Strikingly insightful yet clear and accessible in tone, these two books are the foundations for understanding our pasts to predict our futures.

Including full-color illustrations throughout, this box set is a great gift for existing fans of Yuval Noah Harari and anybody who is curious about what it means to be human.
