Maybe a little bit OT but if you enjoy a different perspective on the history of humanity I'd recommend Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

"It argues that people are decent at heart and proposes a new worldview based on the corollaries of this optimistic view of human beings. It argues against ideas of humankind's essential egotism and malevolence. The book engages in a multi-disciplinary study of historical events, an examination of scientific studies, and philosophical argumentation in order to advance Bregman's opinion that, this outlook is more realistic compared to its negative counterpart." -Wikipedia
