- posedge 7y agoThat was the first book that came to my mind. Highly recommend.
- neilkakkar 7y agoand if you don't get time for the entire book: I did an almost lossless compression - https://neilkakkar.com/sapiens.html https://neilkakkar.com/sapiens.html
- jacknews 7y agoThanks so much for this - I'm really a fan of condensed factual books. I think the book format necessitates undesirable verbosity (ahem), detail, anecdotes, side stories, padding etc.
- dx7tnt 7y agoI didn't enjoy this at all. I thought the tone and the style were pretty awful.
- ozim 7y agoI found it 50% of things I already knew. I got dissapointed with author lack of knowledge how farming works. He just keeps going on how those hunter gatherers had it all good and farming started to break people backs and stuff. When farming you work hard 2 times a year, rest of the year you just check out on stuff and myabe round up some animals. But it is not 365 days a year back breaking labor. I was dissapointed with that book, maybe because everyone was saying it is great book, so I had high expectations.
- lelima 7y agoThe hype is ruining me some movies and books as well..
