Yuval Noah Harari, 46, is a historian, philosopher and best-selling author.
The child reporters Hannah and Sophia, both 10, met him at the CH Beck publishing house in Munich.
Harari's books have sold more than 40 million copies in 65 languages.
Initially, the Israeli wrote primarily on historical subjects.
But in more recent books he also dealt with the present and the future.
Harari is a popular speaker, having met with important people like Angela Merkel and Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta boss.
