21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
4.0

"Billions of us can hardly afford the luxury of investigating, because we've more pressing things to do: we've to go to work, take care of the kids, or look after elderly parents. Unfortunately, history gives no discount. If the future of humanity is decided in your absence, because you're too busy feeding and clothing your kids- you and they'll not be exempt from consequences. This is very unfair; but who said history was fair?"

This is the first time I've read Harari. The book focuses on current affairs and on the immediate future of human societies. What is happening right now? What are today's greatest concerns? What should we pay attention to and why?
There are 5 part of the book, which consists of 21 Chapters. Certain chapters celebrate human wisdom, others highlight the crucial role of human stupidity. There's a unique insight which author brings into the discussion. No doubt, Harari is a great storyteller, who makes you think, as well as question.
