Book Review: “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graeber and David Wengrow

And now for something completely different. I sometimes reach out of my comfort zone and take on books that might not, on the surface, appeal to me much. I consider this to be part of an attempt to read above my pay grade and expand my mind to some degree.

That’s what brought me to the late David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything. I have to say that my expectations were dashed upon opening the covers.
