Why read it?
1 author picked Apocalypse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I learned so much from this brilliant new way of looking at human history. The title sounds grim, but the book is more about survival and adaptation than it is about catastrophe, making it surprisingly encouraging. Rather than plodding across the centuries, Wade jumps from one fascinating case study to another, each one engagingly presented in smart and lively prose. Each chapter left me keen to read the next one—and, in the end, isn’t that what reading books is all about?
