Reader’s Note
8 out of 10
the appendix on newspeak is the best thing in it & it sits after the last page, so most people never read it. changes the tense of the ending if you do.

readable, broad, sourced thin. why is a book this confident about the cognitive revolution so vague in the notes? fine as a way in / not a reference.7 out of 10Sapiens
