“We are at a hinge point in human history, where we could make choices and laws that turn back the tide of rising inequality and allow all of us to flourish, instead of allowing a few to harvest our minds and the data of our lives. Either we help one another out of this maze of monstrifying mirrors, or we'll be stuck here bashing our fists against our reflections until we melt in a planetary cauldron of our own making.�

I will say also that for claiming to be a big history it is very specifically about early modern Europe and then modern North America so if you’re looking for something more global monsters this is not that ]]> Review7499400431 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:26:42 -0700 <![CDATA[Michal added 'Humans: A Monstrous History']]> /review/show/7499400431 Humans by Surekha Davies Michal gave 4 stars to Humans: A Monstrous History (Hardcover) by Surekha Davies
