Harari is an excellent scientist — he manages to portray complex political and historical scenarios in a way that is both easily understood and still neutral. He argues far removed from his own sources, leaves their interpretation almost completely open to his audience. While I greatly admire the skill and diligence he showed in this book (and I enjoyed listening to a lot of the different topics, especially AI and the soul/conscience debate) I missed a clear continuation between the different segments. At times it felt like I had been reading five or so vastly different books. Still, I learned a lot and I've come to understand why Harari has become one of the most important voices of the humanities in our time.
