BOOK OVERVIEW
21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari is a collection of essays that address the current predicament the modern human faces, the future she faces, and what she can do about it. After Sapiens—chronicling the history of the entire human species—and Homo Deus—looking ahead to a largely dystopian future, 21 Lessons focuses on what we can do in the present.
The book divides into five parts with each chapter—or lesson—talking about a particular topic. The book opens to an investigation into the current problem of the world; from the breakdown of liberal democracy in the midst of populism and nationalism to the possible danger of artificial intelligence and increasingly invasive technology. Harari shows the potential consequences of both AI and bioengineering—admitting that we currently have no solution for these possible consequences.
His scope broadens throughout the book, focusing on God, religion, secularism, capitalism, and other beliefs that hold humankind together. He looks into human history and provides proof for his claims. Ultimately. His goal is to explore the reason behind why we create such stories that give meaning to our world and how we can move forward with the new story of humanity.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An Israeli historian and tenured professor in the history department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Yuval Noah Harari specialized in medieval history and military history at the same university. He later completed his doctorate degree at Jesus College, Oxford in 2002.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind was his first major book, first published in Hebrew before being translated to more than 30 languages, which became an international bestseller. He followed it up with Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow which was placed in the top ten non-fiction books of 2017 by Time magazine.
Harari lives in a moshav, a cooperative community of agricultural farms, with his husband outside of Jerusalem. He practices Vipassana meditation two hours every day and attends a 30-day retreat at least once a year.
