Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Also known as Sapiens
Synopsis
Harari tells human history as a few revolutions: the stories that let strangers cooperate, the turn to farming, the unification of empires and money, and the scientific wager that we still do not know enough. It is a brisk, argumentative map, written to be disagreed with as much as absorbed.
Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
