A useful overview of some of the global challenges lying ahead, but nothing much I hadn't heard of before. Harari is skilled at condensing many disparate topics into an easily digestible work. But the breadth and simplicity of the book often left me wanting more.
The book has some interesting ideas but nothing that I would say is groundbreaking. Also, I found Harari rambled quite a bit, especially in the latter half of the book. Still worth a read if you're interested, but I didn't see all the hype.

This book brings up many interesting questions and ideas, of those I liked the one about autonomous cars, do we allow the cars to have the morals of the owner of the car - does the car protect the driver no matter what or protect other people even if might kill the driver.
I also liked the idea that panicking is arrogance - if you panic you are acting as if you know the outcome (and usually believe it is bad) when in reality, we don't - we should act with bewilderment
