21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Harari is back

Author of Sapiens, the current best seller with more than ten million copies sold worldwide.

Sapiens is a journey through our past.

Homo Deus, a look into our future.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century is an exploration of our present.

How can we protect ourselves from nuclear wars, ecological cataclysms, or disruptive technologies? What can we do against the spread of post-truth or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children?

With the same intelligent, fresh, and provocative prose, Harari returns to bookstores with a new title, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, in which he examines some of the most urgent issues of our present. The golden thread running through this stimulating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of the constant and disorienting change we are experiencing.

Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?

Reviews:
«I was amazed by the way Yuval Noah Harari delved into the past of our species in Sapiens, just as his predictions for the future did with Homo Deus. But his captivating narrative and fascinating analyses of current events in 21 Lessons for the 21st Century are absolutely spot on.»
