21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari
3.5/5. I loved Sapiens. It made me think differently about our species. Harari‘s second book, Homo Deus, was fun to read; it was full of (wild) speculations about Homo Sapiens’s future. This book, which is about our current times and the next 50 or so years, is not as coherent as Sapiens or Homo Deus. There are musings about technology and its impact, about the possible changes in the political landscape, about religion, etc but I have read these things elsewhere. In addition, a lot of the discussions just scratch the surface. I lost interest towards the end, although there are interesting thoughts on education.
Harari is an excellent observer of our times. I am glad that I’ve read this book. I just wish Harari had covered less topics and instead gone more into depth.
