About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?
One of the world's preeminent historians and thinkers, Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human.
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 audiobook, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.

Editorial reviews
Our species has only roamed the Earth for 200,000 years — but in that time, we’ve done more to change the face of the planet than any other creature in existence. In his provocative best-selling work Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari takes listeners on a journey through the history of mankind, from the Stone Age to today.
Over the course of this un-pausable audiobook, Harari examines how each generation of humanity left its mark on the planet - and how we’re still changing our world as each day passes.
Audie Award-winning English voice actor Derek Perkins skilfully navigates this thorough, research-driven work, setting the perfect tone for this riveting audiobook with his deep, intellectual delivery.
To put it simply in the words of one listener: 'Prepare to have your mind blown'.

An accurate view of humankind
An objective -sometimes cynical- view of humans and civilization. With lot of open-ended philosophical questions. I love this author, I recommend Homo Deus too.

Exceptional
This book was the most fascinating read, the best book I’ve ever read. The facts and hypotheses were thought provoking and relevant in a time where all possibilities of good & bad are real.

A good book about... everything
Biology, history, religion, technology, economy - a quick glimpse on everything. Not too detailed, but detailed enough to inspire and make you rethink human.
