Two Million Years in Two Hours: A Conversation with Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari is one of the rare historians who can give us a
two-million-year perspective on today’s headlines. In this
wide-ranging conversation, Yuval explains how technology and
democracy have evolved together over the course of human history,
from paleolithic tribes to city states to kingdoms to nation
states. So where do we go from here? “In almost all the
conversations I have,” Yuval says, “we get stuck in dystopia and
we never explore the no less problematic questions of what
happens when we avoid dystopia.” We push beyond dystopia and
consider the nearly unimaginable alternatives in this special
episode of Your Undivided Attention.
