In this fascinating book, Harari presents a concise yet comprehensive history of humans from the origins of our species all the way through the 20th century, touching on milestones such as the cognitive revolution, the agricultural revolution, and the industrial revolution. Throughout, Harari presents a thoughtful consideration of how each of these have impacted humanity — were they actually good for our species, and our well-being? What an excellent, thought-provoking book, and I'm kicking myself for not reading it before now.
