Reader’s Note
8 out of 10
the simulation sequences are the reason to read it. characterisation is thin & the sophons are silly. the translator's notes are better company than some of the middle chapters.

Decent idea buried under a load of physics chat. Liked the countdown in the eyes. The rest was a slog and I've no plans to start the next one.5 out of 10@books_and_bins

Sapiens reviewed by @kepler22b
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
