Homo Sapiens
A good historical read, sociologically written. Harari gives a vivid description of where we've come from, achievements we've made, and points the direction to which we are headed as the human race. The promise of 'eternal' life (Gilgamesh Project) might be delivered in a few decades to come by the scientific world. What does that mean for human kind? Harari offers deep insights on what awaits the a-mortal race.
