Summary

Yuval Noah Harari’s breathtakingly expansive book Sapien s is a monumental achievement that comprehensively summarizes human history, behavior and thought from primordial times to today. The book is also the inspiration for a 50-minute piano work by composer Sean Hickey recorded by pianist Vladimir Rumyantsev on Sono Luminus records and available on March 14, 2025. Host Seth Boustead talks with Hickey about Harari's book and this fascinating new musical release.
