Yuval Noah Harari is a lecturer in history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the author of the book Sapiens: A brief history of humankind, which was a best-seller in the US, UK, France, Korea, China and other countries. In this one-hour video from TED headquarters, curator Chris Anderson sits down with historian and social critic Yuval Noah Harari to talk about this extraordinary moment in time - when nationalism is pitted against globalism, while the world is facing a job-loss crisis most of us are not even expecting.

The book has sold four million copies since its publication in 2016. Rather, it's a YouTube video by Yuval Noah Harari (author of 'Sapiens', 'Homo Deus' and '21 Lessons for the 21st Century') on the topic of just what the world will be like after the pandemic. In his book, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, Yuval Noah Harari explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the 21st century - from overcoming death to creating artificial life.
