THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING by David Graeber and David Wengrow
THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING by David Graeber and David Wengrow is Anthony Doerr’s selection for The Guardian’s compilation of guest authors’ favorite books of the year. Doerr writes: “David Graeber and David Wengrow offer an engrossing series of insights into how ‘the conventional narrative of human history is not only wrong, but quite needlessly dull.’ They re-inject humanity into our distant forebears.” Science News also named THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING one of their favorite books of 2021, praising: “This provocative history challenges the conventional wisdom that societies progressed through a series of stages that inevitably led to inequalities — instead arguing that people have experimented with a variety of social systems since the Stone Age.” Farrar, Straus, & Giroux published the book on November 9, 2021 from Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
