  In today’s connected world a variety of gadgets, apps, connected devices and virtual assistants are constantly feeding us information and push notifications to catch our attention. Few of the most popular apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and other news apps are capable of generating an endless feed.

I am amazed how beautifully Yuval Noah Harari has presented the entire history with facts, interpretation of the data and logical reasoning which leaves you mesmerized as it helps you answer so many questions you had about history - be it regarding how human beings evolved, how they transformed over the entire course of history, how and why various expeditions were carried out, why British were able to colonize and rule so many countries and so on. A must read if you are interested in human history.
