You are conflating government control and social interactions. Liberal western politics is based on individual liberty and free will in the context of government policy. Such policies are focused on reducing the control that governments have on individual rights and not how individuals are influenced by other individuals within societies, which is the topic that Homo Deus and Sapiens focus on.
"focused on reducing the control that governments have on individual rights and not how individuals are influenced by other individuals within societies"
The distinction here becomes very blurry very rapidly.
Governments are composed of individuals within societies.
Individuals influence each other within a socio-political framework.
Also false on Homo Deus, it covers both and much of it is about governments, politics and policies. Happy to quote some, but really just open the book on a random page you'll probably see that.
