Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli historian, professor, and author, best known for his critically acclaimed book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," which was published in 2014. The book explores the history and develop ment of the human species, covering various aspects such as biology, culture, and society. In addition to "Sapiens," Harari has authored other notable books, including "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" (2015), which explores the future of humanity in light of technological advancements, and "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" (2018), which examines the pressing issues and challenges facing society in the present day.
Harari's work focuses on the intersection of history, science, and society, and he has gained widespread recognition for his ability to present complex ideas in an accessible and thought-provoking manner. And according to Harari, “it’s vital for young people to be involved in the conversation about their future – and to tackle questions like… “Will humans one day live forever?” or… “Will we spend most of our time in virtual worlds in the coming decades?””. With this in mind Harari launched Sapienship Lab earlier this year.
