De: Yuval Noah Harari

Narrado por: Rosa Howard

From world-renowned historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, the bestselling author of Sapiens, comes the second volume in the bestselling Unstoppable Us series that traces human development from the Agricultural Revolution to Prehistoric Egypt.

Humans may have taken over the world, but what happened next? How did our hunter-gatherer ancestors become village farmers? Why were kingdoms and laws established? How did we go from being the rulers of Earth to the rulers of each other?

And why isn’t the world fair?

The answer to all of that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story!

From cultivating land and sharing resources to building pyramids and paying taxes, prepare to discover how humans established civilization, endured the consequences for it, and created history-changing inventions along the way.

In Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World, acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari explored the early history of humankind. In Volume 2, he is back with another expertly crafted story of how human society evolved and flourished. His dynamic writing makes the incredible story of our past fun, engaging, and impossible to put down.

An Indigo Best Book of 2024 So Far

Simplicity

Describes evolution of current society. Eye opening, can't imagine that there was a world not long ago where living beings were free and and not ruled and used for benefit of humans. Not sure, what race are we all in. Includes Taxes, authority, story telling, bureaucracy, rules.

Story dependance

Yuval again makes it clear what a human really is and is not Thank you

Truth is not complicated

3 things cannot be long hidden, the sun, the moon and the truth. Buddha. Harari tells the truth in the simplest of terms. I will share this with every childlike person I know, no matter their age. This is how we will evolve beyond the mess we are in, by sharing truthful stories.

this book should be mandatory in schools!

my life would have been so much easier and joyful if I had read this book in an early age!

Give This Book a Chance

The big decision every reader of Yuval Harari’s profound prose will be how much child talk one wishes to tolerate — especially in view of the subject matter, the very bedrock of political economy. At one point I had actually decided to bail, but gave it one more chapter … and stayed for the whole. The author adopts the voice of a mild mannered high school librarian reading history to earnest AP adolescents. But follow closely and you get a pretty complete review of this society’s bedrock questions, and what successful tribes do about change.

Oh that the world could know…

This is it. Basically the red pill. If you are ready for the truth, read on and act accordingly. I will.

All we had to do is learn how to tell a story and all hell breaks loose ! Brilliant and very entertaining! Thank you both❤️

To much talk about taxes ! It frightens me ! I was very nervous and quite frankly scared out of my wits !!
