I was finishing this heavyweight nonfiction title about human enlightenment just as the Israel crisis began. I was feeling like everything in this age was great with the caveat of the ever present racism, social injustices, and on and on…but then.
Pinker makes the case that we‘re living in the best time possible and that humans will only continue to get smarter, better able to deal with death and disease and hopefully live in peace.⬇️

(1686) I picked this up because of a passing reference to Fontenelle in Eliza Haywood's "Love in Excess." It's a book on astronomy, written for a popular audience (especially for women), claiming that the planets are inhabited and that each star has a solar system like ours. It's dated, obviously, but its conversational tone, imagination, and humor make it surprisingly readable even today. It is easy to see why it sold so well in its own time.
You think you've picked up an accessible narrative history, and then Jurgen Habermas shows up in the first paragraph.
