As AI accelerates, are we actually becoming happier?

To mark the 10th anniversary of Sapiens, we revisit Yuval Noah Harari’s modern classic — now updated for 2025 — and ask what history can teach us about today’s technological future.

From the agricultural revolution to artificial intelligence, we trace key turning points that shaped the human story. What have we gained, what have we lost, and where might we be heading? This episode offers deep reflection on human evolution, the nature of happiness, and the cost of progress in the age of AI.
