I just can say WOW!
First of all, I must admit that I admire the author for writing such a ‘brief’ human history and for not being dull a single time.It was a delightful experience to read this book. I have read 465 pages all in one breath and quoted nearly half of the book. Every single chunk and word in the book seriously affected me.
While reading it, it made me feel like I’m watching a documentary and a stand-up show at the same time. By saying that, I’m referring that I laughed aloud a lot and learned a lot at the same time.
The book smoothly explains the evolution of things (money, trade, empires, civilizations, war, technology, religion, etc.) that contributed and accelerated transformation of individuals, but mostly human society.
It tells us a story dating back to 30,000 years ago from a divine narrator point that can see the entire globe and can time travel. And the story explains a lot about the human history and makes me feel really strange to our own kind.There are also lots of enlightening memos, highlights and statements of some important people. The story doesn’t end at present date. It isn’t written what is going to happen, but it foreshadows a lot and gives hints about what might happen in the future.
Finally, I’d like to end my review with a quote
which makes me think a lot “Every living thing will die eventually.”
