About this book

How did one unremarkable ape species come to dominate the planet? Harari traces the human story from the cognitive revolution through the agricultural and scientific revolutions to the present, arguing that our power rests on shared fictions: money, nations, religions, corporations and human rights. Along the way he asks uncomfortable questions about whether progress has made individuals happier, and where our species might be heading next. Sweeping, provocative and clearly argued, it is written in brisk, self-contained chapters that make big ideas easy to pick up and put down, and endlessly worth arguing with afterwards.
