This book is important. It‘s also A LOT. It goes way back in time to how we gathered and why ( we love a unifying narrative) and all the ways those narratives have caused us harm or to do harm. We are the smartest and dumbest of creatures. It all leads up to the creation of AI and the good and bad it can and will bring. We need to create self correcting strategies. We need to fund education. We need to start yesterday.

Building away. YNH is talking about how computer algorithms can go awry and referencing Facebook's involvement in spreading lies and misinformation against the Rohingya people. I read about this in Maria Ressa's How to Stand up to a Dictator. What's awful is even when people called out the lies and called on FB to stop the algorithms, the damage was done. CBC spoke this week about how easy and cheap it is to buy groups on FB with followers 😢

This is a long book and jam packed with information that I‘m really enjoying and now I‘m questioning everything I know. For instance witchcraft was started to steal men‘s‘ penises so obviously men had to hunt witches down. 🤣🤣 (or that was what men ‘thought‘ witches were up to) Started a new Lego set, a gift with purchase, of a small floral arrangement and tackled the ironing mountain

IndianBookworm Waiting for your review😊 2w
mcctrish @IndianBookworm I gave this to one of my brother in laws for Christmas - we saw him 2 weekends ago and he said he was 100 pages in which is almost 1/5 of the way so I think he‘s committed to it. My hold came in after we saw him, of course, I didn‘t ask him anything about it but now I have some context so I want to ask him all the things and look at the print version to go over some points 🤣 I may end up buying it for my husband 2w
AnnCrystal 🧩🌸🆒🤩👍🏼💝. 2w
IndianBookworm @mcctrish woww, you all seem so committed. Makes me all the more curious about the points you guys wanna discuss.😁 I'll definitely keep an eye out for its reviews. 2w

mcctrish @Aims42 I want to reorganize all my shelves NOW. I need a distraction 🤣🤣 2w
Aims42 @mcctrish Oof. That is a very Sunday sounding thing 😂 Walk away! No good will come from starting that now 😆 (spoken from first hand experience) (edited) 2w
mcctrish @Aims42 I‘m home from work tomorrow - I need to avoid it then too 🤣🤣 2w
Aims42 @mcctrish I wish you all the luck with avoiding it then too! It‘s not easy for sure 😂 2w

Harari 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.

Tamra I‘m glad you like it! I got this for my husband for Xmas. 🎅🏾 4mo
SqueakyChu I had to bail on this book because it was due back at the library with no renewal. Bummer. 😢 3mo
SqueakyChu @Tamra I love reading books by this author. They are so immensely thought-provoking. 3mo
