Sapiens

a Brief History of Humankind
Jun 24, 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Harari's writing style, wit and perspective on commonly held beliefs in the fields, for example, of history, anthropology, religion and social systems. He puts a spin on things designed to make one think about just what it is that has shaped modern societies and what exactly it is that makes us human. Unlike some of the opinions of those which follow here, I don't believe that this is a book for beginners, whatsoever. Harari's style is clear and precise but deals with very complex concepts about humankind, its' long history and the possibility of humankind existing without actual human bodies at some time in the future. Without some solid background in a fairly broad range of social sciences, you'll not likely recognize the brilliance of his convergence from typical experts in these fields. If you enjoy unique minds with a broad understanding of what makes mankind and modern society tick, you'll find this 400+ page book a thoroughly enjoyable book.
