21 Lessons for the 21st Century

by Yuval Noah Harari

After his journey into the past ("Sapiens") and future ("Homo Deus"), Harari moves into the present to find answers to the most pressing questions of our time – a time of rapid change and uncertainty, of information overload and polarization, of climate change and Brexit, biotech and Big Data.

In 21 chapters, the author addresses political, technological, social, and philosophical questions. Questions like:

• What will become of our liberal democracy?
• How will algorithms and Big Data change our decision-making and freedom of choice?
• What kind of work will people be doing in the near future, and how can we prepare our children for it?

While the word "lessons" suggests otherwise, the author does not have clear-cut answers to these questions. Rather, he wants to get us thinking about the major challenges of the 21st century and our values in these turbulent times.
