About Harari

He is a strange historian, who became famous with his first book: The Brief History of Humankind. He wrote the book for his students at the university, and the book in fact doesn't contain any novel knowledge - aprat from one thing: he looked at the facts from new angles. Everything what he wrote had been known before, but nobody thought about connecting facts. He did. Later he published other books, which also became bestsellers.

Once he was interviewed and asked: Where did you get the courage to state such a revolutionary ideas in your books?  He said, You know, I was a Nobody in an unknown university, so I didn't care what others think.

The reporter replied, All right, but in your second and third book? He replied, Oh, by the time I was so famous that I didn't care what other people think.
