Is this a stand-alone book, or a sequel to Sapiens?

Adrien Lemaire Although you'll find repetitions between the books, it won't do you much harm, for the volume of information dispensed is too large for one to completely assimilate everything in a single read.

I strongly suggest reading Sapiens first, as it'll make you more appreciative of the quality of information taught throughout the book, and will make it more receptive to the predictions divulged in Homo Deus.
Ozren It's better if you only read Deus and skip Sapeins altogether. All what was mentioned in Sapiens will be mentioned again
Ellen Can be read as standalone. Though does reference Sapiens in the prologue.
Shaneka Knight Read Sapiens first, Homo Deus book builds on the premise of Sapiens
Tracey TaoQin some parts are repetitive but it serves the author's goal to explain his guess at the human future. if you read home deus without reading sapiens I think it's completely OK.
Grant Staley Read both and in order although the future is more relevant as quantum changes are already afoot.
