Book: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Sapiens: A Brief History of HumankindSapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Much of "Sapiens" is extremely interesting and thought-provoking. Harari's take on human history may at times be controversial, but he certainly knows how to keep readers engrossed. Recommended.
