How did humanity get to where we are today? And where are we headed next? What is the story we tell ourselves to explain who we are and why don't we acknowledge it more?
These are just some of the questions that are answered in this book. At the end of the book, I feel somewhat enlightened and more aware. However, I now have a slightly pessimistic outlook on the future. I'm left wondering if living with this newfound awareness and spreading it to others is enough to make the changes that are necessary for our future. I guess the only thing to do is be hopeful and maintain these ideas going forward.

What an interesting take on the start of civilization. Great texture, but sometimes filled with incorrect or outdated premises and facts. Still, worth a read if for no other reason than to examine our own beliefs about the sustainability of civilization.

uhhh I probably won't finish this one. It got repetitive and I got bored, and I couldn't escape the feeling that I was being lectured to.
