So it turns out I was listening to the audiobook, and my brain had a little frazzle at times when listening to Mort. I'm re-reading the sections and I actually understand what's going on plot-wise.I'm actually enjoying Mort now!

@imaji I'd have a listen to this https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sapiens/id1651876897?i=1000737572553And there are lots of thorough critiques of this book (and some bad religious ones I'd ignore). I wouldn't go to it if you want to learn any human history.
