21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari
21 Lessons for the 21st Century should be read by everyone! This book serves as a center to Harari's previous works, and focuses on what will or can or is happening in our ever-changing 21st Century. Written in a conversational style and divided into 5 different topics with each chapter a subtopic under the general topic, the book's content pushes one to think outside of their comfort zone, to think about not just themselves, but about the biggest problems and actions happening in our world today. I enjoyed the fact that Harari presented information about each subtopic and then explored various scenarios that could play out depending on human decisions and reactions to the various situations.
Each page of this book forced me to really analyze and question how I impact the world, to questions if I can impact the world, or does the world just impact me? How much will our world change, will we allow the hypothetical changes to happen or will we shrink in on ourselves and hinder progress? Is progress just for progress sake worth the human cost that may come with it? So many questions have been prompted inside me by reading this book.
Thank you, NetGalley and Spiegel & Grau (Random House Imprint) for providing me an eGalley of Harari's newest book in exchange for an honest review.
