He writes entire books about how tech and algorithms might break civilization, then behaves on X like a benevolent oracle who follows 166 people and expects the rest of us to take notes. Modesty: 0. Influence: 100.

Turning 'Sapiens' into a global bestseller and building a public intellectual brand that reshaped how millions think about human history, technology and the future.

To illuminate the long arcs of human history so people can make wiser choices about the present and future, encouraging critical thinking, scientific trust, global cooperation, and ethical attention to how technology reshapes life.

Values evidence, intellectual humility, and empathy; believes complexity beats simplistic partisanship, that science and collaboration are essential to solve global problems, and that stories and ideas can steer civilizations for better or worse.

Turns dense research into memorable narratives, commands credibility and a global audience, synthesizes across disciplines, and provokes thoughtful public debate without losing readability.

Big-picture framing can feel abstract or aloof to those living immediate crises; sweeping hypotheses invite polarizing pushback; sometimes less responsive to rapid micro-conversations on the platform.

Use bite-sized explainers and multi-tweet threads that break one big idea into 3, 7 clear, shareable points; pin a perennial thread (e.g., ‘How to read the future’). Post short video clips or narrated slides to boost reach, host occasional X Spaces for live Q&As, and reply selectively to high-value threads to increase engagement and algorithmic visibility.

Fun fact: he has 645,419 followers while following only 166 people and has tweeted 1,623 times. Author of both adult bestsellers and accessible offshoots (graphic and children's editions), his top tweets focus on democracy, war, science, AI and curated book recommendations.
