If possible I would give this book more stars. This book is not one of those books published to simply build a portfolio. It stands side by side with religious texts like the Qur'an or the bible. This book taught me how to see the future by comprehending the past. People are mourning the popes death now but thanks to this book I have been mourning his death since November last year. It is clear that the one who wrote this book has unparalleled Passion when it comes to history and the capability to reach the highest level in the field. I truly hope from the depths of my soul that the author writes other works to teach hiw to stop seeing the future and the past, instead living in the present. Please write another book. I am unable to go through my life anymore. I am never able to be in the present. U can see friendships end when I make them, people die as they are born, loved ones pass away as they smile. It seems like I am behind a thin veil every waking moment, forced to see the present but not interact with it. NEVER interact. Please for the love of god, write another book and set me free from my purgatory.
TL;DR: read the book. It's a masterpiece which reminds us why AI will never be able to truly replace human creations
