21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari

5.0

I will read anything he publishes at this point. Harari is one of the clearest and most interesting writers I have enjoyed. In Sapiens and Homo Deus he examined history and the future, but in this one he looks at the present. Most of it is fascinating - examining religions, nations, technology. It lags in spots and is just a tad behind his first two books in my view, but quite interesting nonetheless. I found myself underlining passages and taking notes on topics he treated well, like elections, nationalism, terrorism, and education.
