What a powerful read!

This memoir is about experiencing trauma, unlearning it, and breaking cycles. It is extremely personal and heartfelt. I loved how the author portrayed trauma as complex, which it is.

4 Stars • Yes, I do read non-fiction. Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari dives into humanity‘s next chapter. With hunger, sickness, and war mostly under control, we‘re now chasing eternal life, constant joy, and superhuman powers through tech like AI and gene editing. ⬇️

suvata Harari warns we might become “Homo Deus” (god-like) or get sidelined by algorithms in a world obsessed with data over everything else. It‘s a bold look at a future where we could rule like gods or lose our spark to machines. Mind-blowing stuff!

Cuilin I‘m trying to read this at the moment. I‘m having a hard time getting into it. I was going to bail but maybe I should keep going. Hmm 6d
suvata @Cuilin when I was reading it, I was pretty sure it would be a three or four star at best. By the time I was done it was clearly a five star book. 6d
Cuilin Thank you for responding, five stars sounds fabulous. I will keep reading. 6d
