![]() Some of the big ideas about humanity that you’ve helped popularize - that fictions or social constructs have political power or that Homo sapiens might be moving toward technologically driven obsolescence - have been around in various forms since way before you wrote about them. ![]() “Once the books are out, the ideas are out of your hands,” he says. “The general misunderstandings of me,” says Harari, 45, co-author of the recently published “Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2” (the latest in a series of graphic-novel adaptations of his work), “are that I’m the prophet of doom and then there’s this opposite view that I think everything is wonderful.” Both, of course, might be true. The broad sweep of Harari’s writing, which encompasses the prehistoric past and a dark far-off future, has turned him into a bit of a walking inkblot test. Harari’s key theme is the idea that human society has largely been driven by our species’s capacity to believe in what he calls fictions: those things whose power is derived from their existence in our collective imaginations, whether they be gods or nations our belief in them allows us to cooperate on a societal scale. With the publication in the United States of his best-selling “Sapiens” in 2015, the Israeli historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari arrived at the top rank of public intellectuals, a position he consolidated with “Homo Deus” (2017) and “21 Lessons for the 21st Century” (2018). ![]()

In his younger years, Piet was not very interested in plants. Maiden grass ( Miscanthus malepartus) bursts from a rondel along a pathway. Piet emphasizes that these plants also make a statement in winter-they are not cut in autumn the seasonal fading is an element of his design. The colors of the flowers, the shapes of the leaves, and the seed stems of the decorative grasses are all intended to harmonize. Powerful perennials such as purple boneset, coneflower, astilbe, and great burnet dominate the beds in between ornamental grasses that resemble tufted hair swaying softly in the wind.Īlthough it may look natural and accidental, everything is carefully placed, following the draft of the designer. From there, the view opens to a lawn with an impressive rondel filled with abundant giant miscanthus. The opulent driveway leading into the property is framed by carefully trimmed hedges, and in front of the residential house stands an old farmhouse that was built in the 1850s. Hummelo conveys the essence of Piet Oudolf’s garden aesthetic. The rounded-crown tree is a golden raintree.
