Alguns capítulos melhores que outros (por exemplo os da política e terrorismo). O final é um pouco ‘helpless’. Algumas partes pareceram-me exageradas.

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

Harari tackled topics that many are too afraid to discuss in our current political climate. This book shines a much needed light to the prevalent issues of the modern day. I liked the way it made connections to human history and biology in evaluating the present. However, there were several factors I didn’t like about the book:

He didn’t focus on as wide a range of topics as I expected. Most chapters related purely to AI or religion.
The author’s personal biases come through frequently. That’s not to say I was frequently disagreeing with him so much as I felt he wasn’t always evaluating a matter subjectively.
He frequently reiterated the same points across multiple chapters, making some feel like they were thrown off track.
Lastly, I was confused as to whether this is a political novel, economics novel, or philosophical novel. I guess it’s all of those things.

Overall, the book had some excellent points, but could have used a more clear vision.

A thoughtful and (as much as one can be) objective look at life in the 21st century, that led me down a garden path about what being alive and human entails or implies.

The meaning of (my) life is a question I still can’t answer after reading, but perhaps that is the point; indeed, “questions you cannot answer are usually far better for you than answers you cannot question.”
