I really enjoy books like Sapiens and Guns, Germs and Steel. I’m looking for other books that take a wide lens view of history rather than hyperfocusing on a specific person or event.
Oh shit you gotta check out The Dawn Of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow. It’s about as “big history” as you can get. Seriously this is exactly up your alley.
