Product: 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Description: Number One New York Times Best Seller

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.

"Fascinating...a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century." (Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review)

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. 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 listening.

Praise for 21 Lessons for the 21st Century:

"If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari...tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: 'What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?'" (BookPage)

"A sobering and tough-minded perspective on bewildering new vistas." (Booklist)

Product: Sapiens. De animales a dioses [Sapiens: From Animals to Gods]: Una breve historia de la humanidad [A Brief History of Humankind]
Description: El libro de no ficción del AÑO

Un best seller internacional con más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos

Lúcido e iluminador: la historia de la humanidad en un solo volumen.

Este es el fascinante relato de nuestra extraordinaria historia: de simios sin importancia a amos del mundo.

¿Cómo logró nuestra especie imponerse en la lucha por la existencia? ¿Por qué nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos? ¿Cómo llegamos a creer en dioses, en naciones o en los derechos humanos; a confiar en el dinero, en los libros o en las leyes? ¿Cómo acabamos sometidos a la burocracia, a los horarios y al consumismo? ¿Y cómo será el mundo en los milenios venideros?

En De animales a dioses, Yuval Noah Harari traza una breve historia de la humanidad, desde los primeros humanos que caminaron sobre la Tierra hasta los radicales y a veces devastadores avances de las tres grandes revoluciones que nuestra especie ha protagonizado: la cognitiva, la agrícola y la científica. A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biología, la antropología, la paleontología o la economía, Harari explora cómo las grandes corrientes de la historia han modelado nuestra sociedad, los animales y las plantas que nos rodean e incluso nuestras personalidades. ¿Hemos ganado en felicidad a medida que ha avanzado la historia? ¿Seremos capaces de liberar alguna vez nuestra conducta de la herencia del pasado? ¿Podemos hacer algo para influir en los siglos futuros?

Audaz, ambicioso y provocador, este libro cuestiona todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el ser humano: nuestros orígenes, nuestras ideas, nuestras acciones, nuestro poder... y nuestro futuro.

El fuego nos dio poder.

La conversación hizo posible que cooperáramos.

La agricultura alimentó nuestra ambición.

La mitología sostuvo la ley y el orden.

El dinero ofreció algo en lo que confiar.

Las contradicciones crearon la cultura.

La ciencia nos hizo imparables.

Product: Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
Description: Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically acclaimed New York Times best seller 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 1,000 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 21st 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 best seller, Harari maps out our future.

Product: Phono Sapien (Korean Edition)
Description: Phono Sapien
b There are "phonos" behind the "floats"!
The creation of new wealth, the standard of new behavior, the center of a new macaque, the world is already overthrown by them!
b br Phono Sapien is coming in. All of the world s culture, economy, society and politics are moving by them, and they are reorganizing the business ecosystem as a standard of civilization. The business that embraced this civilization grew explosively to swallow the global business market, and on the contrary, companies that rejected this civilization have lost competitiveness or have disappeared from the market due to repeated declines. This is clear. According to whether or not we understand the Phono-Safian civilization, we have a chance to survive in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The author of this book, Professor Choi Jae- And the systematic analysis of data, the rapid changes in the market over the past decade have been solved by the new people called "Phono Sapien". I am seriously reflecting on the emergence and characteristics of the new people and the reality of the new civilization that they became axis, the changes of the market changes and consumption behavior by industry groups, the success strategy of the Phono Sapience era and the talent of the new era.

The transition to a new civilization that comes with two faces of opportunity and crisis is sure to leap at us. It is told by clear data in this book. Also, this book will help us to be able to go through the wisdom rather than anxiety, so that we, who are confused by rapid changes, can see opportunities rather than crises.
