What's keeping Freecharge founder Kunal Shah busy these days? A Hebrew book on humankind

To put a spin on a common adage, a high achiever may well be known by the books he reads. Rarely does his booklist feature a current bestseller, or that paperback being sold at every traffic light. The choice is often eclectic. Case in point: the books currently on Freecharge founder Kunal Shah’s nightstand.

Shah recently finished reading ' Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari. The book was first published in Hebrew in Israel. It surveys the history of humankind, its evolution from being an archaic human species in the Stone Age up to the 21st century. The book attributes the dominance of the world by homo sapiens (a.k.a men) to being the only type of animal that can cooperate flexibly in large numbers.

His current read 'The Inevitable' by Kevin Kelly is a nonfiction book that captures the 12 technological forces that will shape the next three decades. Perhaps some inspiration for Shah’s next venture?
