Yuval Noah Harari Biography

Prof. Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow," "21 Lessons for the 21st Century," the series "Sapiens: A Graphic History and Unstoppable Us," and "NEXUS: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI." His books have sold over 45 million copies in 65 languages, and he is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today.

Born in Israel, Harari received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002. He is a lecturer at the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a Distinguished Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. In 2019, following the international success of his books, Harari co-founded Sapienship with his husband and original agent, Itzik Yahav. Sapienship is a social impact company with projects in the fields of education and storytelling, whose main goal is to focus the public conversation on the most important global challenges facing the world today.

Harari gave keynote speeches on the future of humanity in Davos 2020 and 2018, on the World Economic Forum’s main Congress Hall stage. He regularly discusses global issues with heads of state, and has had public conversations with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Harari has also met with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Argentine President Mauricio Macri, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and Shanghai’s Mayor Ying Yong. In 2019, Harari sat down for a filmed discussion on technology and the future of society with Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and in 2018 he presented the first ever TED talk delivered by a digital avatar. Harari was featured in a profile piece on CBS’ "60 Minutes" in 2021.

Harari, originally specializing in medieval and military history, now explores macro-historical questions on the relationship between history and biology, human uniqueness, justice, progress, and the ethical impact of science and technology.

Harari’s "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" became a global bestseller in 2014, selling 25 million copies. Endorsed by Barack Obama and Bill Gates, it dominated bestseller lists, including The New York Times and The Sunday Times. Harari followed with "Homo Deus," exploring the future of humanity, and "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" analyzing present-day challenges. Expanding his work, he co-created "Sapiens: A Graphic History," adapting "Sapiens" into a four-volume illustrated series. In 2022, he launched the children’s series "Unstoppable Us," with the first volume becoming a New York Times bestseller. His latest book, "Nexus," examines the history of information networks and AI’s impact, quickly becoming a bestseller and receiving high-profile endorsements.

Harari’s work has earned numerous accolades, including a 2021 US Association of Foreign Press Correspondents Honorary Award and a 2020 honorary doctorate from Vrije Universiteit Brussel. "Sapiens," "Homo Deus," and "21 Lessons" have received prestigious honors worldwide, including China’s Wenjin Book Award, Handelsblatt’s German Economic Book Award, and the UK’s Academic Book of the Year.

Harari lectures globally and contributes to major publications like The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Economist. He has provided extensive commentary on key global events, including COVID-19, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the 2023 war in Gaza, with his insights reaching wide audiences through top news outlets.
