Any era is welcome but I'm especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let's see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari gives a very macro view of how societies became what they are today and about humans in general :)

(though worth noting it’s one guy’s oversimiplified opinion and most historians would call it wildly innaccurate)
