Customer Reviews

Interesting book, twisted author

The book is easy to read though it comes to some disturbing conclusions. The author is the world’s most prominent advocate for “trans humanism”, as his subsequent books prove. Personally, I think he is a demon who walks the Earth among us. Please pray for us to be spared from his techno machine fantasy.

Completely biased and racist

Read with critical lens, there is a very racist undercurrent in the book. Sapiens evolving from apes in Africa, reaching higher knowledge the whiter they are. Makes very little mention of Africa and African culture thereafter.

Superb

Sharp, witty, and thought-provoking.

Completely Unreadable and Wrong

The book itself is great, however I ordered a "Very good" copy and pages 53-84 were missing and pages 357-388 were printed twice. This made it so two full chapters were missing. Disappointed to see after using this site for so long.

Truly unbiased

I love that it approaches everything using facts and explaining theories for things that are still being debated. The lack of political stance is refreshing. I’ve learned so much.
