Un altro libro eccezionale, vale la pena di essere letto, anche se mi ha fatto venire un po' d'ansia soprattutto nella prima parte (ma gli animali hanno sentimenti? Provano dolore?) e nell'ultima (con 'Internet di tutte le cose').
"Al culmine dell’imperialismo europeo, i conquistatori e i mercanti compravano intere isole e paesi in cambio di perline colorate. Nel XXI secolo è probabile che i nostri dati personali siano la risorsa di maggior valore che la maggior parte degli umani avrà ancora da offrire, e noi la stiamo cedendo ai giganti tecnologici in cambio di servizi e-mail e divertenti video con i gattini."

Though the book had some interesting ideas, I didn't like it as much as I liked Sapiens. For a large part of the book, if felt like the ideas presented in Sapiens are being reiterated.

Also, I didn't feel like one has to read Sapiens before picking this book up. Both the books can be read in any order.

I believe some of Harari’s claims have been debunked in this book. However, its goal is to make us aware of the narratives and motions our society is going in, along with the potential results. At this I believe the book does amazing and exceptionally well. Loved this read!

Contains many interesting ideas (referenced, not original) and several flashes of brilliance once it gets going after a long introduction. Would be four stars if it were less repetitive and didn’t stop to explain its own structure and upcoming chapters so much.
