Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
5.0
Educational, It talks about... well practically the history of mankind right from the stone age, and he progresses till the modern age. In between he talks about how the cavemen discover fire, about the illusion of agriculture being better than hunting, then he moves on to the unity of mankind using empires and religion, the transformation of money from a barter system to what it is today, capitalism, socialism, and the scientific revolution, the change from material wealth to human capital, the importance of human capital, the overflow of information and many more.
Most of the things he talks about, I've heard about them in bits and pieces elsewhere. This book narrates it in a chronological order. Glad to have had read this book.
