I’ve been listening to Yuval Harari’s book Sapiens and a few provisional conclusions: (1) we really are living through a hellish reenactment of the 1950s; (2) Harari is a next-level plagiarist; and (3) it’s probably a lot better if you’ve recently read Desmond Morris’s The Naked Ape and Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.
