21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Yuval Noah Harari earned a Ph.D. in history from the University of Oxford and presently teaches world history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His earlier books, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, were global best-sellers, selling over fifteen million copies and being translated into over fifty languages.


How do computers and robots alter what it means to be human? How do we deal with the fake news epidemic? Is it still possible to have nations and religions? What do we want to teach our children?


Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a deep and visionary inquiry into today's most pressing concerns as we enter unknown territory. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a military tactic, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change, and raises the critical questions we must ask ourselves in order to survive.


Harari expands on the concepts discussed in his prior books in twenty-one digestible chapters that are both provocative and profound, untangling political, technological, social, and existential challenges and offers guidance on how to prepare for a radically different future than the one we already live in: When Big Data is watching us, how can we maintain our freedom of choice? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we prepare? How should we respond to the terrorist threat? What is the source of the problem in liberal democracy?


Millions of readers have been captivated by Harari's remarkable ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are heading. In this section, he challenges us to contemplate values, meaning, and personal participation in the midst of noise and uncertainty. Clarity is power when we are bombarded with irrelevant information. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is necessary reading since it presents complicated contemporary concerns in a plain and accessible manner.
