Entrepreneur : "On a mis tout notre produit à la poubelle du jour au lendemain" (Alexis Eve - Yaniro)

This book surveys the history of humankind from the Stone Age to the 21st century, focusing on Homo sapiens. It divides human history into four major parts: the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the Unification of Humankind, and the Scientific Revolution. Harari argues that Homo sapiens dominate the world due to their unique ability to cooperate in large numbers through beliefs in imagined realities such as gods, nations, money, and human rights. The book also examines the impact of human activities on the global ecosystem and speculates on the future of humanity, including the potential for genetic engineering and non-organic life.

The novel tells the story of seven generations of the Buendía family in the isolated town of Macondo. Founded by José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán, Macondo experiences a series of extraordinary and often magical events. The town remains isolated from the outside world except for occasional visits by gypsies who introduce new technologies. The novel explores themes of solitude, the repetition of history, and the impact of modernity and external forces on the town and its inhabitants. It is a seminal work of magical realism and a key representative of the Latin American Boom literary movement.
