He sums it up in such a simple manner. Read Sapiens, mostly through Homo Deus and plan to read 21 century next. It really should be standard reader for everyone.

I agree with the take on Sapiens and Homo Deus, but I really felt like in 21 Lessons he was writing a book while a bit full of his own hype. Numerous times he steps beyond his area of knowledge to profess on things that he shouldn't really be professing on. His first two books are outstanding, but I think the success of those and the global recognition he has gained went to his head a bit on 21 Lessons.
