Amy C. is on page 185 of 372 of 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Harari critically assesses predominant themes of modernity; the contentious topics of terrorism, immigration, and nationalism have been meticulously evaluated and each facet of the debates surrounding these imperative topics is considered, and often brutally derided by Harari's characteristic flair for defiance.

The fact that I have finally managed to secure this novel for my perusal is an exceedingly unbelievable turn of good fate, as I have been eager to read this product of Harari's incessantly philosophical wisdom for an immense amount of time without any substantial luck.

So far, this book has been a compact overview of life-altering scientific advancements that have impacted countless lives in a deleterious manner. Contemporary scientists would be astute to consider past blunders when in the midst of producing potentially disastrous innovations in the lab!

This book's passages are so placidly mesmerizing. Sacks was truly captivated by the mysteries of science and human nature. His literary voice will send readers into a soporific and educational trance. Can't wait to finish reading this masterful anthology!

One sentence to summarize the gist of what I've retained from reading this book so far: Elizabeth Holmes is a sociopathic, megalomaniacal sissy with an utter paucity of a conscience.

I haven't dedicated much time to reading YA fiction in quite a while.... even though I'm wallowing in the midst of awkward adolescence.
This book seems pretty suspenseful.

As a neophyte in the overwhelming realm of science, I've heard much about Richard Dawkins. Whether he is as notorious as certain individuals vehemently claim he is a contentious conception; subsequent to terminating this book, I'll decide for myself whether Dawkins promotes erudition or intellectual elitism.

Ian Bremmer is well-versed on this particular subject. So far, very captivating.

Wolff's writing flair is always a fortune to behold! I quite possibly would ONLY read literary works by Michael Wolff if he expanded his genre. Unfortunately, his obsession with political altercations and corporate drama leave much to be desired.

Kelly Williams Brown speaks in such relatable parlance and her advice is much appreciated. Albeit I haven't yet attained the ripe age of eighteen, this book should equip me with valuable information to provide me with a mature insight into the realm of "adulting."

Pinker speaks in a pleasantly pedagogic manner that evinces his unyielding perspective that the world has truly progressed in terms of humanism and technological advancements.

Amy C. is on page 131 of 429 of Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History
Andersen's enticing joie de vivre renders this topic a diverting one to read into. This book explores the facetious history of America's reliance on fantastical tales rather than empirical data as an incentive for the plurality of the population. Overall, this book has evinced its gripping humor; I can't wait to read the remainder of it!

Absolutely mystifying. This book has absorbed me to such an extent that I sit down for a school lecture with my mind hinged on the conjectures Harari will explore when I next pick up this book.
