Many millennia ago, when our species existed only as a multitude of small autonomous bands of hunter-gatherers, we began to invent stories – to unite for survival, to find meaning in our existence, to find explanations for the unknown. Later, primitive tribes transformed into empires, civilizations and cultures, and when their differing narratives began to collide and intersect, it led to chaos and wars, as well as to the flowering of culture, the emergence of world religions, and scientific breakthroughs.

Tamim Ansari explains how our ability to create and spread abstract ideas has influenced world-historical processes. In doing so, he also explains our increasingly globalized present: the narratives that shape us, the reasons why people still fight – and the future we can create.
