"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari is a fascinating exploration of the history of our species, Homo sapiens, from the emergence of our species in Africa to the present day. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the development of empires and civilizations, the role of religion and ideology, the impact of technology and globalization, and the future of humanity.

Harari argues that the key to the success of Homo sapiens lies in our ability to create and believe in imagined realities, such as gods, nations, and money, which have enabled us to cooperate in large groups and build complex societies. He explores how these imagined realities have shaped human history and continue to influence our world today.

"Sapiens" is written in a clear and engaging style, making complex ideas and concepts accessible to a wide audience. Harari's insights into the nature of humanity and the forces that have shaped our world are thought-provoking and enlightening, inviting readers to consider their place in the broader sweep of history.Creative Commons (CC) Attribution

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

The Illusion Trap by Prasana_Layan

Reality is perhaps no more than a dream. But what happens if one day we ask ourselves if we are dreaming our own reality? Is the world we live in objective or a reflection of our inner world? The Illusion Trap invites us on a journey where the spiritual, philosophical and scientific search for answers are intertwined in a twisting, multi-pronged story. Throughout the plot, the veil is gradually lifted on the truths of a past lost in a mystical haze, and the question is outlined through a duel of opposites that build a dualistic world: where is the line between reality and virtuality, rationality and mysticism, oppression and freedom? If reality is not independent of us, can we ourselves shape our own world every day with our thoughts and feelings into what we want it to be? Is there free will and to what extent can we live it? This book does not offer definitive answers, but encourages you to ask, reflect, meditate and find your own truth. A story that can lead you to yourself - if you are ready to look in the mirror.

Engines of Control: An Inquiry into Power, Conflict, and Human Liberation: by JarvisDBrooksJr

In "Engines of Control: An Inquiry into Power, Conflict, and Human Liberation : Beyond the Illusion: Power, Control, and the Quest for Global Equity", the intricate machinery of global control is laid bare, revealing how wars, crises, and economic policies are manipulated by elite powers to perpetuate dominance and suppress dissent. This profound exploration connects historical events to contemporary challenges, presenting a compelling argument that the very foundations of modern governance are designed to curtail freedoms and orchestrate the trajectory of human civilization. With rigorous analysis, the book dissects the military-industrial complex, the manipulation of media narratives, the exploitation of health crises, and the strategic use of environmental disasters. Each chapter offers a critical examination of how these mechanisms serve to consolidate power in the hands of a few, at the expense of the many. Yet, amidst the stark realities of control and manipulation, "Engines of Control" is a call to action and hope. It charts a path toward a more equitable and transparent global society, offering practical steps for resistance and empowerment. Through detailed policy recommendations, an exploration of technology's potential for democratization, and an unwavering focus on fostering a culture of peace, this book inspires readers to envision and work towards a future where justice prevails. This is a must-read for those seeking to understand the hidden forces shaping our world and for those committed to challenging the status quo to build a more just and equitable society.

Pushing the power of collective genius for self empowering empires by LeonStephens8

Welcome to Self-Empowering Empires: A Journey of Unity and Innovation, a socio-economic commentary that delves into the transformative power of collective action. This book follows the compelling stories of the Martins, the Johnsons, and Elias Mezhiya Sebi, among others, as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of building self-sustaining communities through innovative economic practices For two and a half years, I pondered the concept of reverse engineering taxes to create self-empowering empires, carefully crafting a business plan that could revolutionize socio-economic structures. It was a challenging and thought-provoking journey, during which I tirelessly explored the potential of collective action and innovative solutions. My breakthrough came when I discovered the capabilities of the ChatGPT app, which enabled me to compile my ideas and stories into a cohesive book. This book aims to spread awareness of the power of collective thought, action, and innovation, inspiring others to join the movement towards a more self-sufficient and empowered society.

The Destroyer by authorburton

NOW COMPLETE! This book is a continuation of my previous book called Time Off. Centuries after Earth has ceased to support human biology, the human species lives on. Lola explores the outer reaches and the deep mysteries of the multiverse. We also peer back into the past, where humanity is desperately trying to find a way to survive. Lola is also the pioneer in human survival. Now, mankind finds itself having impacts on a universal scale and must make new discoveries, or else outgrow the expanse of the known universe. But there is a problem. Humanity is at risk of annihilation by its own creation. Please read Time Off first, which will provide more basis. I also wrote a series called Running Boys. That is a great adventure story. It can be read in its complete form or as two smaller volumes that are separated according to two different time periods. The complete form is a long read but a better way to experience the story.
