I have a severe critique that I think will sit with me throughout this book.
It is very Euro-centric and dismisses the influence that Asia has. Asia has been around for thousands of years BEFORE European civilizations. Ex.When talking about Gutenberg being the innovator of the printing press, they are neglecting the fact that east Asia had already discovered this long before. That’s just one example but I digress
