A review by samanthasimonsen
The Dawn of Everything by David Wengrow, David Graeber

challenging informative slow-paced

This book is full of some very interesting ideas and interesting anecdotes, but that’s all I got out of it. This took me months to listen to on audiobook and never really grabbed me. On the one hand, I think I would have gotten much more out of it if I had read a physical copy; on the other hand, I never would have finished the physical copy at all. Some of the arguments were not entirely persuasive to me, but I hope that this will be the start of a host of new scholarship, and that some of the future works on this topic will be more digestible.
