Every book Denis Nazarov recommended on podcasts
Denis Nazarov appeared on the a16z Podcast in an episode titled Cryptonetworks and Cities -- Analogies, which was released in August 2018. During the discussion, Nazarov referenced the book Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. He strongly recommended the work to listeners, pointing to its insightful analysis of human history and social structures. Specifically, Nazarov noted that Harari articulates how human beings generate and maintain shared myths that allow individuals to coordinate effectively across much larger groups than would otherwise be possible. By highlighting this text, Nazarov connected anthropological and historical concepts of collective belief systems to broader conversations about modern cryptonetworks, social scaling, and decentralized coordination models during the podcast episode.

Sapiens
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is a sweeping exploration of how Homo sapiens evolved, dominated the planet, and constructed complex imaginary orders like religion, money, and nations.
Recommended“Yuval Noah Harari’s book 'Sapiens' articulates this well, and I strongly recommend it. He discusses how people create shared myths allowing coordination among larger groups.”
