It really hit me. Especially the thought (which I still think of as one of the most groundbreaking ideas I've encountered) that the biggest winner of the entire human history of "
progress" and "
civilisation" is wheat.
I thoroughly dislikes
Homo Deus though. It just seemed like he rewrote
Sapiens, and added at the end some back-drawer thoughts he had and didn't know what to do with them.
21 Lessons For The 21st Century seemed to me derivative and not ver enlightening too.
His interviews are often interesting and informative.
And I liked quite a lot his
comic-book adaptation of Sapiens though.
Still, kind of a one-trick pony to me. Though I really love that one trick he can do.
