[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]I read Harari’s two other books (“Sapiens” and “Homo Deus”), and quite liked them, so when this one was available, I couldn’t help but request it. It did turn out to be an interesting read as well, dealing with curr...
It's an excellent book with all the facts and figures which we don't know. This book is thought-provoking and changes one's thoughts about history. The author tries to sum up as much as he can in this book but in my opinion, a single book is not enough for the brief history of humankind. It never wi...
When I was little, I believed (sort of) that Santa Claus existed. It was a working hypothesis that worked, and I didn't look behind it until it became untenable. Now I effectively assume my continuing identity as a person - because that works, sort of, too. In me, and most people I know, the baton o...

After reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind I have decided to stop eating all meats for good. I'd...
Auf 508 Seiten führt Yuval Harari den Leser durch 100.000 Jahre Menschheitsgeschichte. Die beginnt mit dem Menschen als ziemlich unauffälligem Tier unter anderen Tieren. Das ändert sich erst mit der ersten von insgesamt drei Revolutionen, die Harari als Schlüsselerlebnisse für die Menschheitsgeschic...
This book is a masterpiece. I feel fortunate that I discovered it before most other people. I discovered it by reading an extremely negative review for this book in the Wall Street Journal written by a historian. (In his defense, he just didn't understand that this is not a history book, and he h...
