The World Is Flat Douban
author: Thomas L. Friedman publishing house: Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2005 - 5
In this brilliant new book, the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.

为全球化背书的一本,着眼点都是大局观,最终都是大企业获益或者以利益驱动的合作不会带来“得不偿失”的战争,过于乐观主义精神了。就一本畅销书的样子吧。

剧本其实还蛮精巧的,有日剧的实验性,但执行方面,如选角如表演方面有点摸不透,就是不知道想迎合哪个群体。

Sapiens Douban Goodreads
8.8 (27 ratings) author: Yuval Noah Harari publishing house: Harvill Secker 2014 - 9
100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one.
Us.
Homo sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.

文笔很好,开头一段概括得极其精到,整本书跨域了很多领域,由于自己对这些领域均了解不足,所以很多时候只能做个聋哑观众尽量让自己可以被科普一下,但还是选择了在充分了解之前不要尽信书中的观点。
