Anybody read or reading Nexus?

[ollypenrice]

I enjoyed Yuval Noah Harari's famous book Sapiens but am struggling with Nexus, his history of information. It seems to be wordy and indisciplined, to me, taking ten pages to say a page-worth and being very prone to generalizations while being short on detailed citation.

It's been well received. Is it me?

Just googled them and a single volume to cover such a large range of time seems somewhat truncated, and if as you're saying Nexus is going into Lovecraftian-style rambling....

There's quite a few scientists and academics that have written criticisms of Sapiens for making assertions that aren't supported by the evidence - so I think that it plausible that same could be said for this other book.

Not read either.
