This is a highly engaging non-fiction book that spans history/religion/philosophy/sociology/psychology/anthropology/political science/economics, and explains how Sapiens transitioned from small social units to huge societies via (imaginary) concepts of money, religion and imperialism.
Though much of the author's hypotheses can't be substantiated and can in fact disputed, these hypotheses nonetheless make a lot of sense and are certainly plausible explanations for the order of the world.
