Like Sapiens but for the future. Not nearly as good as Sapiens. Very repetitive, and felt more disorganized than Sapiens. It spends the first part defining humanism and talking about its rise in the 20th century. Then it goes on to talk about possible threats to humanism. It’s full of very cool ideas, but it could have been half the length and just as effective.
If you’ve ever read Hyperion or Illium by Dan Simmons, his vision of the future is basically the same.
