Thank you to Vintage Books for sending me this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I was really impressed with how Yuval Noah Harari explained complex topics in such an easily digestible way.
The rise of AI is an area that is growing, and going to have more of an impact on society in the decades to come. The author talks about things that had never even occurred to me - like the impact of AI on totalitarian states. There were certain parts of this book that will stick with me for a long time, such as the paperclip thought experiment.
You know that you’re reading a special book when you keep referring to it in small talk with people, and it keeps popping up in your head throughout the day.
Unfortunately, I didn’t gel well with the narrator of the audiobook. While it is quite a dry and technical topic in some respects, the narration was a bit too monotonous for me.
