内容简介
· · · · · ·
In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues.
How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.
In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?
Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.

评论 ······
他的前两本书，几乎是惊鸿一瞥，深度和广度都让人叹为观止，到了这一本，我觉得几乎就是在炒未来简史的冷饭了。
盖茨18年底推荐书之一，作者观点不错的，但这不是一本好书，3.5星。这本书是对以前作者Q&A的整理，很多话翻来覆去说，明明可以精简提炼
整本书感觉还是太空洞. 很多小essays串起来的, 质量参差不齐, 有的章读起来还算有趣 (例子好). 讲了半天最后收敛到了meditation这种玄乎的东西上面了, 也没拿出个办法. 叫做*lessons*太过了. 也许适合科普给中小学生看看…
非常笼统片面，也没有吸引力，很多章节感觉就是为写而写（比如一定要凑上21 lessons）。前两本沾着进化与历史还算有些信息量，这本简直是个人意识流了。
