It is a worthy companion to the first book, in my opinion. As it introduces a very powerful reflection around what are the plausible effects of technology into our culture going forward. One of the most intriguing ideas on Harari's line of questioning is for me the importance of intersubjective reality for human societies. This comes down to the stories we tell ourselves and the institutions, symbols, religions and even corporations that come out of them. From there Harari illustrates how we got to our "humanist" (at least in theory) society and where could we go from here. What does a "post-humanist" world look like?
These are great ideas to ponder and wonder about, and personally I am thankful I have found in these books a very fertile ground from where to start thinking about these enormous questions.
I loved this book too. :)
