21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
4.5
Very interesting and thought provoking exploration into ‘humans’ and how we might deal with the future, both technologically and politically.
I particularly enjoyed the explanations of terms and ideologies we hear thrown around but many of us don’t actually know what they really stand for (and neither do many of the people throwing them around)!
It made me have a bit less dispair for the current world order - it’s all just a consequence of ‘being human’, as was the past and as will be the future. It’s refreshing to realise humans aren’t just getting stupider, we’ve always been that way!
