I skimmed Homo Sapiens and Homo Deus, found them pretty lame. Everything in them is either a truism or obviously misconstrues facts. There's a lot of good pop science out there, and a great deal more of it is poorly written. Sturgeon's law comes to mind.
- ListeningPie 3y agoWhat are some good popsci books?
- namaria 3y agoI really like The Tangled Tree by Quammen, The Song of The Cell by Mukherjee, and Utopia or Oblivion by Fuller. Just some books that are staring at me from my work desk. Edit: oh and in big history, Earth Transformed by Frankopan does a great job of being grounded, balanced and accessible.
