21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari (Book Review)
My first impression of this book is that people in this contemporary have no clue about what they are living for and what they are living in. Humans are slowly devoured by the exponential growth of biotech and infotech. When we are still struggling to get a pass in our old, archaic education system, bigContinue reading “21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari (Book Review)”

Another Murakami book from me, but this time I read one of his first novels- more like a novelette.

This is a compilation of American shorts from the 80s which peered into the lives of normalcy- adultery, alcoholism, vices and enigmas- spelling the word America. AlthoughContinue reading “what we talk about when we talk about love by Raymond Carver (Book Review)”
