War, Disease and Human Superiority: Unstoppable Us, https://youtu.be/NQ9ni3VjaGc.
Yuval Noah Harari returns to 7th grade. Unstoppable Us' (launched 2022) is Harari's first book series for children, telling the epic true story of humans and our superpower in four volumes, and featuring illustrations by Ricard Zaplana Ruiz.
Yuval Noah Harari is one of the best-known public intellectuals of our time. His books have sold 27.5 Million copies in 60 languages, and he has been credited with revolutionizing the nonfiction market. Sapiens emerged from a series of lectures Harari delivered on world history for an undergraduate class.
In “Unstoppable Us,” he presents the provocative ideas that drove his 2015 best seller, “Sapiens,” without dumbing them down.
Where are you from? For most of us, the answer is automatic and personal. I’m from Galveston. You might be from Poughkeepsie. But anyone with a little knowledge of human origins knows the deeper answer for every human on the planet: Africa.
The story of humans, who rose from a position in nature as fairly unexceptional primates to becoming the world’s dominant species — and a threat to planetary survival — is vast and complicated, and uncomfortable.
How in the world could you explain all that to kids? Yuval Noah Harari has taken on the challenge. Harari, the author of the 2015 best-seller “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind,” is not timid. In “Sapiens,” he guided readers through a sweeping tour of revolutions in human development, including the development of cognition, agriculture, and of science. That book garnered praise from Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Barack Obama who called it “interesting and provocative”.
Since that first blazing success, Harari has expanded the project through Sapienship, the multidisciplinary organization he founded with his husband, Itzik Yahav, in 2019. There is the multivolume “Sapiens: A Graphic History,” and a coming “Sapiens Live,” billed as “an immersive experience inspired by the works of Yuval Noah Harari.” And there is the book before us, UNSTOPPABLE US: How Humans Took Over the World, Bright Matter Books, 208 pages 10 to 14, the first of four planned volumes.
