The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence by Carl Sagan

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.75

Many of the theories and ideas are of course outdated, but his level of insight towards where science would advance is astonishing. There's also a section in which he describes primitive videogames which is very cute and a little quaint (he praises pong for being able to teach newtonian physics in an intuitive and elegant way). More than anything, it's just an enjoyable read. Carl was a true scientific communicator.
