pickHarari consistently writes thought provoking, historical, interesting books about our species, intelligence and information. This doesn‘t disappoint and gives perspective about information now is different than other advances in technology. It‘s fantastic and terrifying.
pickNot exactly “brief” at 17+ hours, I felt like I was taking a college class on AI and the history of communications. YNH shares ideas about how humans network, how information travels and how terrifying our online world currently is and where we go from here. If you have an interest in AI and its future, internet bots, how our online information is taken and used, this book gives you a lot to think about. I enjoyed the ideas I leaned about.

This quote encapsulates the playful and fun nature of the book. It shows how learning can be exciting, and how even simple facts can spark wonder and laughter. It‘s a great example of how curiosity about the world can be both educational and fun.
As you read through the wacky facts in this book, take a moment to marvel at how vast and surprising the world really is. Each fact opens a window to something new, sparking curiosity and showing that there‘s always something to learn, no matter how strange it may seem.
pickThis book is a treasure trove of fascinating facts that will captivate kids. The quirky, fun facts are presented in a way that makes learning exciting and entertaining. Great for kids who love trivia and unexpected knowledge.
Cozy Sunday getting some work done. Corgi is supervising. Coffee needs a refill. Dreaming about what it would be like to work for the Library of Congress as all this tedium in metadata and subject analysis is proving to be quite enjoyable for me.
Ended up at 728 for the first two weeks. I am pretty bummed that I didn‘t even break a thousand — but I am going to ramp things up for the back half!
