Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari --
review
A swash-buckling account that begins with the origin of the
species and ends with post-humans
by Galen Strawson
The
OMG, this book is a banquet table groaning with ideas that will make one think.
Some of my favorites:
agriculture as the biggest fraud in human history
toxic monotheisms
how only Europeans set out in a major way, to conquer other lands
Author also tackles suffering and happiness and what is real.
