Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

4.0

The book started off great. The first two parts are really interesting, but as the book progresses the author makes bold statements that strike as an attempt to be sensationalist. Specifically talking about the last chapter about the future of the species, me being a biomedical engineer myself, am very sceptical of the assumptions that he makes about what it will actually be possible to achieve, even in centuries time.

So, although it is a great book about history of our species and how we came to where we are today, most of it should be taken with a grain of salt.
