I started The Deep History of Ourselves by Joseph LeDoux over the weekend. Reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan helped me understand the universe a bit more. Which made me want to understand humanity better. I suppose this is about how life evolved to give us the conscious brain that we currently possess.
I finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley last week. It was okay. I'm sure if I had read it when it was first published, it would seem ground breaking.
Brave New World has a lot of interesting points and concepts but the writing is really stiff
