My review

★★★★☆ (4/5)

I read this book after Sapiens, and I was curious to see how it would compare.

It’s a very interesting read, focused more on the present and future, exploring topics such as technology, politics, society, and the challenges we might face in the years ahead. In that sense, it feels quite different from Sapiens, which is more about the past and how we got here.

It’s one of those books that makes you feel like you’re learning something with every chapter. It makes you think, question things, and look at the world from a slightly different perspective.

Some of the ideas weren’t completely new to me, but I still appreciated the way they were explained. I liked the writing style. It was clear, accessible, and engaging, even when talking about complex topics.

It’s not the kind of book I could read in one sitting, but I actually enjoyed taking my time with it. It felt like a book to read slowly, reflect on, and come back to.

Overall, a good and insightful read, even if I didn’t find it as impactful as Sapiens.
