The 60s rock 'n' roll icon's sorrowful twangs could only be born from the agony of human existence, and it's not like enjoying a projection of a flattened CGI Roy Orbison, accompanied by a orchestra of actual humans—violinists and cellists and three young back-up singers; a middle-aged blonde woman stoically nailing the guitar riffs—was going to change that fact.

Gates found it to be a "provocative" account raising many questions about the history of human existence on Earth, focusing on "the power of stories and myths to bring people together": Although I found things to disagree with—especially Harari's claim that humans were better off before we started farming—I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who's interested in the history and future of our species.
