Love the way it links the past to the future
Sapiens [Tenth Anniversary Edition]: A Brief History of Humankind
This was the second book in Yuval's series that I read. I highly recommend this as a next read after Sapiens. Yuval extends his view of the past and gives a brilliant picture of a possible future. If you care about having some form of clarity of how ...
'Homo Deus' by Yuval Noah Harari
This is the third series in Yuval's Sapiens collection. I'll recommend you read this after Homo Deus. After explaining the future, He discussed practical challenges and gave some guidance on how to approach the future
21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Harari
This is another beautiful work from Yuval. Here He focused on Information network and gives a lot of clarity on how information networks evolved from the past to modern day Artificial Intelligence and extends it to future possibilities. If you need s...
Nexus: History of Information Networks to AI
Reference
If you want the typical Eurocentric view of world history, this is a very good reference. It has lots of useful picture to help your memory. Highly recommended reference
World History: Ancient to Information Age
I love history! And this book took an unconventional route to discussing the history of the world. Peter helped us understand that the Eurocentric view of the world is not the only POV and it does make you question your assumptions of the world. High...
The Silk Roads: A New History of the World
This Series is good for visual learners who wouldn't have enough time to actually read. It's also a good reference to Yuval's Sapiens book. I use it as a decor piece in my living room as a good conversation starter.
'Sapiens: A Graphic History' by Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen ...

Mustafa was helping to give an optimistic view of the future of Artificial Intelligence. I read this because I felt Yuval's view was too persimistic in my opinion, I also wanted to get the view from someone more technical. I'd recommend this because ...
The Coming Wave: Technology & Power in 21st Century
Robert took on the age old argument about whether we have free will or not. This argument usually sits in philosophy department mostly, but you get to have a neuroscientist's view on it, based on facts and experimental results. Highly recommended
Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will by Robert M. Sapolsky
Timothy went hard on the information chaos we're all currently experiencing. He discussed how even experts fall for fakes mostly due the the way information is presented and our own personal tendencies. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys s...
The Certainty Illusion by Timothy Caulfield
These are lessons learned from Aja's personal stories. Her experience with consumerism, colonialism and Climate Change. She discussed Fast fashion from the perspective of someone deep in the Fashion industry and it was nice to get all of those POVs a...
Consumed: The Need for Collective Change
Sometime you are just in the mood to read short non-fictional essays of beautiful theories from beautiful minds in various fields. This is a collection edited by John Brockman you would enjoy
This Explains Everything: Deep, Elegant Theories
Dan Brown's books
I love how he helped me understand the concept of Noetics. The setting is also in Czechoslovakia real life locations. A thriller you actually learn a lot from
The Secret of Secrets | Novels | Robert Langdon (6)
Another nice thriller by Dan Brown. The setting was in Vatican City. You get to learn a lot about the Illuminati society. Scientist who had to secretly meet out of the fear of persecution by the church.
Angels & Demons (2009)
One of the nice thing about this thrilling work of fiction from Dan Brown is how much you get to learn about Free Mason in an exciting way. The setting was also in Washington DC, so it's nice to get to recognize some of the places I've visited before...
The Lost Symbol | Novels | Robert Langdon (3)
