Another great book by Yuval Noah Harari.
The lesson I take from this book is that the world around us is broad and it's almost impossible to have an easy answer to everything. Be aware of fake news, know what terrorism is all about, don't be afraid to question the stories you hear (yes, people like stories, and stories nowadays seem to be more important than facts!)
It's the 3rd book I've read (or listened to) from Harari and I have to admit that hist way of seeing things is extraordinary and helped me to shape my own opinion and throw some doubt into the mainstream thinking of many things around me. Thanks Yuval!

It's always awesome to read Harari. Although, sometimes I feel dumb when I explore my own beliefs and traditions. I guess that is the point. Harari challenges the reader with scenarios, actual history, and compelling perspective that may change your view of the world.
I loved this book more than Sapiens and Homo Deus. It was very intriguing and challenging to the mind but, highly engaging. I hope he writes more.

With immense breadth and clarity, the author describes the important views of humanity’s past and present and their implications for our future if we continue to ride old waves into the rocks of a rapidly changing world. We would surely benefit as a species from this book being widely read and discussed.
Bill Gates writes in his review below, "But Harari is such a stimulating writer that even when I disagreed, I wanted to keep reading and thinking" and I want to echo the same.
I agree with 80-90% of what he writes, but even when I didn't I didn't want to leave his world - I have devoured three of his books: Sapiens, Homo Deus and this, in a matter of weeks, buying the Sapiens graphic novel for my 12 year old son.
I would like to re-read all three, and I suspect I will, at some point. What a discovery, what a gift. THANK YOU Yuval.

Like his previous books, it sheds light on very logical matters, that because we are so entangled in the bustle and hustle of it all we don't stop to actually see. It opens our eyes to an array of topics and gives us a very grim look at the future, but also some hope on how to survive this impending doom.

If I were ask, which one of the three Harari books you should read, my answer would be 21 Lessons for the 21st century . This book is easy to read, profound, practical and enlightening. It gives you a quick overview of what challenges we as a species and you as a human are going to face over the next century.
