From Professor to Global Phenomenon

Harari's journey from an obscure history professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to the world's most-read non-fiction author is as fascinating as his books.

Writing Process

Harari writes for 2 hours every morning before anything else. He attributes much of his success to Vipassana meditation retreats — 60 days a year in total silence.

On AI

"AI is not a tool. It's an agent." — Harari believes AI will reshape human civilisation more profoundly than any previous technology.
