Even as a non-Americans and a pacifist - I quite enjoyed the book and the story telling of the Admiral. I think the author was honest and if there are more people like him in positions of power to decide who lives and dies there’s be just a tiny bit of hope for the world.

The author has a vicious imagination reasonably grounded by science. The story switches back and forth between two timelines; depending on your preference the cliff hangers could make it hard to put it down or impossible to pick it up. I loved it. I tried cheating, too eager to find out what happened. Let me warn you right now - the timelines are intertwined and it’s hard to follow if you skip and hop.

Good crime thriller.
The frequent criticism of Sapiens I’ve read is that it’s too hard to differentiate between facts and fiction. A favourite book of mine “The Better Angels of Our Nature” is an example of a well researched book that has extensive citations to back its claims. Sapiens does fail short in that regard. However, IMHO, the criticism is unwarranted. I don’t think the author intended it to be an academic book. The subject covered is vast and is subject to interpretation.
What I found the most interesting about this book is the authors framing of the obvious things around us. It’s fascinating to think about both the past and the future from a different viewpoint. Don’t take this book as your university reference guide and you’re good.
