In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today's most pressing issues.
How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, 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 important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.
In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?
Harari's unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.

Professor Harari was born in Haifa, Israel, to Lebanese parents in 1976. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is now a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He specialized in World History, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
Prof. Harari also teaches a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled A Brief History of Humankind.
Prof. Harari twice won the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality, in 2009 and 2012. In 2011 he won the Society for Military History’s Moncado Award for outstanding articles in military history.
预定了这本书，想必会满意，至少也是颇值得一读。毕竟《人类简史》和《未来简史》震撼到我了，作者的学识和洞见令人印象深刻。 只是，人家书名明明是《21 Lessons for the 21st Century》，你翻译的副标题《 人类命运大议题 》也就罢了，非要凑热度“简史”再弄个《今日简史》...

盖茨18年底推荐书之一，作者观点不错的，但这不是一本好书，3.5星。这本书是对以前作者Q&A的整理，很多话翻来覆去说，明明可以精简提炼

老实说读到后来觉得有点无聊。。。部分议题有点意思，特别喜欢他说religion=fake news。可能我对这种絮叨的科普式写法不太感冒😂

从Sapiens到21 Lessons，从人的局限到人造物和对物控制的极限，愿景就是个画的饼，饼在接下来的纪年是吃不到了，但思考的能力才是一直推着这个纰漏百出的世界进化下去的动力。

看了序言之后发现不能盲目读下去了，结果上豆瓣一看，果然是内个味，还好没华宝贵的时间继续往下读。

和前面两本一样，依旧觉得很好看。这本更贴近现代的生活，提到的战争宗教社交媒体都更加地贴近当下的话题。其中告诉了我们其实人的思想是很容易被操纵的，意识到这一点才能思考自己的行为是否出于自己的真实愿望，还是出于文化社会宗教所引导我们的。
