I'm not sure how to express my thoughts of this book. So I will do my best.
First: I didn't feel like this was a book of 21 lessons, but more that it was reflections and thoughts of 21 topics of the 21st century.
I did like this book but at the same time there was a lot of the topics I didn't really care that much about. Especially the topics where politics were involved. As much as I would love to be interested in politics, I just really am not.
What I did like was that Harari explored some of the topics from different angles and perspectives.

5 or 6 years ago, Sapiens was the book that got me into reading. After finishing it, I bought Homo Deus and 21 Lessons immediately and they have sat on my shelf ever since.

I didn't this book for so long because I was scared that what it would tell me would scare me and justify my (ever-growing) despair.

What it has actually left me with is a profound feeling of optimism and lightness.

It is so important that if you start this book, you finish it.

At times it tells a bleak story of the situation we are in. But it is only as you reach the end that you realise we are not bound to such stories.

Essential reading. Changed my life. 100/100.
