The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

Completely upended the way I look at how humans have organized ourselves and adjusted them periodically based on changes and advances in our environment and society. Shows that we are capable of taking the advancements we make that are beneficial and ridding ourselves of the negatives that emerge alongside them. Regardless of how big and difficult those shifts may seem

It was my 3rd Graeber book after Bullshit Jobs and Debt. Each worth a read!
