Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind - by Yuval Noah Harari

Overall, a really interesting, well-written and well-organized book. It took me a long time to read simply because there is so much in there. Every chapter introduced some new ideas. The blurb says that the book is “provocative” and I agree; quite a few people would be offended or annoyed by some of the assertions, particularly about some religious and political matters. I think that I can truly say that I will never look at the world and our place in it quite the same again.
