"A visionary new work from one of the most prescient writers and thinkers working today, THE LAWS OF HISTORY is an exploration of the laws that govern the ebb and flow of history. From time immemorial, humans have sought to explain the tides of change: What causes empires to rise and fall? Why do certain religions ignite and take hold? Why do some nations accumulate vast power while others quickly fade into oblivion? And will history ever end? As Harari shows, history is not composed of solid events linked in a causal chain. Rather, it is made of fluid processes that intermingle like a network of streams and rivers. Drawing on examples that range from the fall of the Roman Empire to the French Revolution to the Second World War, Harari identifies six laws that all historical processes obey. While these laws help us better understand the upheavals of the past and the present, they do not allow us to predict the future. In fact, they reveal history to be a radically open-ended process, one that lacks any predetermined destination. “We encounter history every day,” Harari says. “Sometimes it storms into our house in the shape of an enemy soldier, a deadly pandemic, or a revolutionary technology. Other times it creeps quietly into our minds, changing our artistic tastes or our sex lives. While history touches every aspect of our lives, we still fail to understand the laws that govern it—laws that have held sway from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age. This book is my attempt to identify and explore those laws, because I believe that knowing them can help us live happier as well as more responsible lives. Since history is radically open-ended, we have a huge moral responsibility. What we do in the coming years can turn the course of history in entirely different directions.” 

Prof. Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the global bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI, the graphic adaptation series Sapiens: A Graphic History, and Unstoppable Us, his first series of books for children. His books have sold over 55 million copies in 65 languages, with Sapiens alone selling almost 29 million copies since it was first published in 2013. A New York Times and Sunday Times #1 bestseller, Sapiens has spent over 220 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Harari is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals of our age."
