This is a review of Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Harari challenges fundamental assumptions about human development through three revolutionary periods: Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. He argues these weren't inevitable progress but contingent developments that reshaped reality itself. The book explores how shared myths enable large-scale cooperation, why agriculture might be humanity's biggest mistake, and how scientific revolution changed our relationship with knowledge. This global perspective examines cooperation, inequality, and the costs of civilization while questioning whether technological progress equals human flourishing. Best for curious minds seeking intellectual disruption of conventional wisdom. Independent, unaffiliated—informational only, not a substitute for the book.
