21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari
I didn't love Sapiens, so I began this book unsure of whether it would be a productive use of my time. I was pleasantly surprised. Where Sapiens had an occasional issue of rooting its claims in unverifiable speculation, the claims presented in this book were, by virtue of being about the modern world, much easier to judge. And they were quite good!
While not particularly deep in any one area, this book does a great job of introducing some of the biggest questions and influences with which we must contend. Best, it doesn't so much make grand declarations as it describes. It is largely a meditation on the world as it is today, and so I expect it would be a worthwhile read for people of many political persuasions.
