This is truly one of the best books I've ever read in my lifetime and I've read a lot of them and I cannot believe this author's treatment of History and his insights are just amazing and brilliant. I read the book three times and I want to read it a fourth time because it's wonderfully packed with Incredible Revelations and Truths. I'm a convert I'm a newbie I am a total fan of Yuval Noah Harari!! I cannot wait for another book from him! One real eye-opener was the fact that the Agricultural Revolution was not exactly a step forward for Humanity when we were always taught that it was and his arguments are very convincing that it was not the best thing that happened to us. I had no idea of the incredible importance of joint stock companies and their role in world history and I also think that Yuval's explanation of why it was Europe that discovered and exploited the Americas rather than any other country was also very insightful and convincing.
