I have to say that I have never read a book like this even though I know that there are few of them out there. I'm talking about historical non-fiction novels that sum up humankind's existence; from homo sapiens to today.
This books covers all kind of revolutions is a very understandable way. It probably goes without saying that it has to gloss over some parts of history as well, since it covers a very broad topics like religion, finance, politics and science.
It's good to already have a basic understanding of history, because otherwise you'll be gobsmacked at the stories coming at you. If you do, it's easy to keep amused by this novel and you'll learn a lot.
I enjoyed this read, but I'm not sure if I'm enticed to pick the next one up (Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow )
