Review:

You should start out knowing that Hans Rosling died as this book was being written and it was completed after his death.  It doesn't matter to the book, but it was a bit of a shock to me when the book ended with his death and it doesn't have to be that way for you.  Factfulness is a way of looking at reality that helps one decipher the details of the world into meaningful pieces.  It is not anything particularly novel--rather it is just a way of applying practical empiricism to raw data.  It is refreshing.
