Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years by Jared Diamond
ninette's review against another edition
1.0
Read the excellent article "F**k Jared Diamond" by David Correia instead. It's way shorter, easily accessable online and frankly all you need to know about this exceptionally offensive and stupid book.

I tried several times to pick up this book and read it, and while the premise is fascinating, the printed word did not hold my attention. However, I found that audio was a lot easier for this one despite its massive time commitment (+16 hours!) Well researched and presented and I learned a lot. The chapter on how viruses develop and result in pandemics was eerily relevant to today.

An interesting book that seeks to answer the question, why have some societies developed in complexity and technology while others have remained less "developed". Diamond's book is written in an easy-to-read style.
