The first book and this one, they should be mandatory for all individuals to learn. Once learned a bit, how you perceive life, matter, universe will change. Even your political preferences will change.

Throughly mind blowing. It took me 6 months to finish it. However, managed to understand every word written in the end, could visualize it in my mind. The very fundamentals of theoretically physics for the ones who would like to explore another world, the reality unseen.

An extraordinary exploration into the future of humankind that leaves readers captivated by its thought-provoking insights. A deep historical perspective provide an illuminating look at how human society has evolved, and how technology might shape our future. Although I found the second book a bit less interesting compared to the first one, the writer delves into the potential paths humanity might take, addressing the impact of technology, data, and artificial intelligence on society, politics, and even the essence of what it means to be human, and that tells something for those who are open to new perspectives. In short, a five star from me.

First I hesitated to even start reading this book. I thought it would be so simple written by a historian. It proved me wrong. It is one of the most structured book I have ever read. It builds knowledge, ideas and, most importantly, point of view step by step. I would suggest the readers take time to read the book and take time understand every sentence. Think over it and analyze. You do not have to agree with everything written, but it will contribute you a lot. You would be impatient to read the second book once finished the first one.
