This book is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend it enough. Makes you really think about the world and what is going on around us.

Not as good as Sapiens. The intro needs to be updated in a post COVID world because the pandemic contradicts his arguments there.

Most thought provoking book I’ve read this year?

It took me a full year and a half to finish this since I didn't feel like reading nonfiction books.

Because of our opposing views on life, I found myself fervently annotating and debating almost everything this author said. The main reason I like the first book so much more than Homo Deus is that it tells the story of humanity instead of being filled with speculations and hypotheses. Compared to the first book, this one lacked the historical background and specific examples that I found interesting in Homo Sapiens
3.25/5 stars

Project Wisdom Bookclub.  Boring and disappointing after Sapiens.

It’s a bit similar to Sapiens, which kinda makes sense, since it’s the “sequel”. Finished the book with more questions than answers, and wondering if humans will keep fucking things up. My guess is yes, unless we really start paying attention to our actions and its impact. What’s in store for us in the future? Will technology outsmart us? How will we use it for the advancement and betterment of the world (this includes us, animals, the planet)? Do we know what the fuck we’re doing?
