​the book of Yuval N. Harari, "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind", was written for a handful of students but it became a worldwide best-seller that was translated into thirty languages.

Leading scientists and intellectuals have praised the book and it has been an eye-opener for the public at large because it presents us with the great questions of human history and prehistory with great clarity.

This book will allow us to get a feel for a wide variety of topics that answer the central question of this podcast series: what is it to be a human being.

The intricacies of life in society, the diversity of civilizations and their unification in a global civilization, power, money, sexuality, happiness, the role of the body and its biochemistry in our lives and last but not least, the radical transformation of our species by upcoming technological revolutions.

This won't be a mere summary of the book but rather a story being told that might ignite the desire to actually read it.
