"发展"(development)和"进步"(progress)不能混为一谈;人类智识的发育速度已经和身体的衍化的速度脱节了;military-industrial complex其实应该是military-science-industrial complex
看的英文版,中途有一部分跳过了,之后要回看。但是5星是绝对值的
Two absolutely remarkable ideas embedded in the book: Something seems to be around the corner will always flop due to an unforeseeable barrier; More horrifying than asking yourself, "who do you want to be" is to contemplate on "what do you want to want." The part before the agricultural era really blows me away, but a huge chunk is standing fish.
无论中文还是英文,都不是我喜欢的类型。这本书可以压缩一半。
重看了遍英文版发现没有当初那么激动了,赫拉利还真的是在各个语言版本中替换了相应的例子
为书的广度和纵深叹服。不过有看到跟我专业略微重合的部分,会觉得书为了整体性而牺牲了一些细节。
重复的观点后面越来越多。作者vegan的倾向好明显。喜欢关于state, community, family 的论述。关于货币,市场,工业革命的论述感觉就是大概高中文科班历史教科书的深度。四星因为排比句很多很好读,扣一星因为是畅销书。
强推强推。描绘农耕文明对人类的长远影响那段真的神了。之前从未从这个角度思考过这段文明进化史。
大篇幅评论已删除,作为无聊时看两眼。太扯淡!这也能成为简史?/读完帝国一章毫不犹豫差评。实在受不了这种诡述。/最后几章还比较客观好看,条理清晰。
