Sapiens was one of the most annoying and vapid books I've ever read

The worst thing is he milked that series. He has so many spin offs, and he even made an illustrated version of it.

mmm I did enjoy 'a short history of nearly everything' by bill bryson, i found its scientific info tying geology to our understanding of modern science rather interesting, without going into the harari's zionist pro tyranny bs in the other book.
