Where have we been, where are we
 now and where are we going as a species? Pitched for the general reader with clarity, humor and many "aha" examples, we journey from the dawn of humanity to the current Anthropocene Era dominated by man and the religion of Humanism. While pointing out possible pitfalls in our continuing evolution (including self-extinction), Harari remains cautiously hopeful. What separates human consciousness from other species is imagination and the drive to tell stories and Science, Politics and Religion are the tools. Is consciousness simply a sophisticated series of algorithms? Will the continued development of artificial intelligence eventually put an end to the species? We are currently in the Age Of Dataism where information IS religion. Should be required reading for all. Magnificent, profound and delightfully readable. - Karen Frank

Rest in Peace
Howard Mosher |
and
Northshire Bookstore has hosted some of the best. This past week,
Chris Bohjalian celebrated his 19th book,
The Sleepwalker at the store and over the years we have hosted
Galway Kinnell, John Irving, John Gardner, Archer Mayor, Julia Alvarez, Sue Halpern, and
Bill McKibben, among others.
But one of Vermont's most beloved and prolific authors was Howard Mosher, who - shockingly and sadly - died this past Sunday of cancer, surrounded by his family in his beloved Northeast Kingdom. He visited us just last fall, when he drove 3 1/2 hours each way to join the Northshire family to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Early last week, he sent out a message on Facebook to his legion of friends around the state and beyond, announcing his illness, saying he was comfortable and at peace and was so grateful to booksellers, among others, for supporting him over the years. Just like Howard, one of the most thoughtful, generous, and insightful writers we knew, to think of others as he shared the end of life. His new book, Points North, will be published in the coming months.
Howard, we love you.
