6 mixes for this book

This playlist follows the book’s immense sweep: spare, spacious instrumentals suggest deep time and migration, while songs about humanity, shared belief, power, and civilization evoke the forces that turned small groups into societies. Its shifts between curiosity, momentum, and reflection mirror Harari’s questioning account of human success and its consequences.
