The way the world works

I have been reading two books by the Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens which I posted to Bookshelf above and then on the recommendation of Joe Skrzynski who saw it on the site, Homo Deus which is a logical follow on and equally breathtaking.
As is my want I was not just putting the title on the web site but also talking to my friends about these astonishing books - my pal Rachel Goldberg said that another friend of hers was raving about these books and had sent her a link to an interview with the author from a BBC program.

I immediately watched it and felt that I had come to know the man who appeared very much as the embodiment of his written words, and while I had expressed the desire to meet and talk with him I now feel that is not so urgent.
If you can stream video on whatever device go ahead -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ1yS9JIJKs.  

The other gratifying aspect of this story is that it closes the loop on the purpose and intention of this site.  
​
​Thanks to Jackson Frazer for his work on the look and feel as well.
