This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

Glad to see I’m not the only one who didn’t like Sapiens. I think it should’ve ended after the first few chapters. I’m terrified to know there’s a sequel where he theorizes about the future.

Had the same feeling. At the end, I felt like the author tried to prove a thesis by ignoring any historical happenings that didn’t corroborate and stretching the veracity of those that did.

I’m terrified to know there’s a sequel where he theorizes about the future.

I hope that he’s better at assessing the future than the past.

It became evident in the later parts of the book that it was more about Harari’s pet theories rather than actual science.
