Excellent work. Sapiens is fairly short, considering how much it covers – the whole human history, pretty much – but manages to be both entertaining and educational.

Apparently also shocking – looking at some reviews, Harari's views on the benefits of agriculture (it being the biggest fraud in human history) have struck a nerve with some folks. But I agree with Harari here: while from the viewpoint of a privileged urban European, agriculture is a sweet deal, I'm sure it hasn't been such a great deal for most people involved in it in human history.

All in all, Harari seems to hit the key points in Homo Sapiens history quite well. This is highly recommended to anybody, especially if you haven't studied human history much. If you've well read, there's little new here, but it's still a well-written and an entertaining book.
