21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari
(Recommended by VJ)
I have not read Sapiens or Homo Deus but given their popularity I believe I was expecting more. These essays felt very similar to the essays and discussions I would have in college. It is clear Harari is a very complex thinker but I believe I would have appreciated more fleshed out thinking in each essay rather than his initial thoughts. In addition, he has the uncanny ability to describe incredibly dystopian worlds while arguing for why they’d be affective. His prose is very convincing.
