Did you disagree with any of Harari’s arguments or interpretations?  \nDo you think that the major world religions are comparable to ‘shared mythologies’ such as nations, corporations and currency? When does a mythology become a reality?  \nHumankind has only been present for a minute fraction of planet earth’s existence – do you think that our civilization will retain its current position in centuries to come?  \nHow can reading about history help us in the present day and the future?  \n– Further reading  \nVINTAGE READING GUIDE  \n– About the author  \nDr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History.
