This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 There is some new information such as the parts about Covid-19 and the James Webb space telescope。 However certain sections such as the exploration section have exact parts copied from last years book。 The classic travel section on pg 66-67 is an exact copy and highlights the same 4 cities and even recommends the same books for the read ahead section。
