Since I unexpectedly finished a book in less than a day (see Book seven) I came back to one I have been plugging away at and finished that today.
Excellently researched and written series of observations based on history (hardly surprising from a historian) that look forward and avoid (mostly AFAIK)the trappings of bias and culture that stop us seeing the wood for the trees.
A long form view of the world and putting a lot of how our history shaped us into ruminations on what is next, and what we should do and NOT DO about it.
Reminds me of Guns, Germs & Steel and also Short Answers to Big Questions (J Diamond and S Hawking respectively).
