I just finished 3 books by Yuval Harari.

Sapiens had been on my wish list for a while before I bought it and it was the first page-turner non-fiction book I've ever read.  I can't say enough good things about the book and even though I hadn't heard much hype about it before buying it (it just looked interesting), I found out afterwards that I was quite late getting into the game with that one.  Apparently, it's been a must-read on many lists. 

In Sapiens, Harari covers humanity from the beginning to the present era in the context of sociology, biology and economics.  The end of the book he discusses the future of humanity which becomes the topic of his second book Homo Deus.  Admittedly, I'm not a future-based person and I didn't enjoy Homo Deus as much, but if you like speculating about where we are heading as a species, it's pretty interesting.  And frightening.

His third book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, was written in 2018 and covers the post-Trump, pro-Brexit populist era.  He is brilliant in his analysis of world events.

If you have not read his works already, I would recommend highly.  He is in my opinion one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
