The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber & David Wengrow
This ambitious re-telling of human history dismantles the idea of inevitable progress from primitive tribes to modern states. Graeber and Wengrow show how ancient societies experimented with freedom, equality, and governance in ways that challenge contemporary assumptions. Their research reframes history not as a linear path but as a web of possibilities. This is a book that makes you realise that what we accept as “natural” about inequality and power is in fact neither natural nor necessary.
