    I wish for every human to know this stuff, to have the chance to take a look at our the bigger story of our lives from distance. This book puts history at the service of the present and future. Not only through organized information but through raising awareness and questions about our reality as species. It offers us a perspective to better understand our selves and the world we live in. Harari is definitely one great thinker of our time. I'm grateful to him and inspired by his work. The narrator also did mostly a great job. Thank you !
