Sapiens. Nice book. I’m a little late to that party.

Nice, I remember reading it and Homo Deus when I was in school and enjoying it a lot

Coincidentally, I'm reading Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow which is somewhat critical of Sapiens

You are not! Books are not time bound! How are you liking it?

I love it. I find it very funny and sarcastic but also very rich and informative. I recently saw an article talking about how this book is a decade old and whether it stands the test of time. After I finish (87% done) I’ll go back and read that article in my Instapaper.
