21 Lessons for the 21st Century


A Different Perspective

by David Meyer

Historian, philosopher and social critic Yuval Noah Harari provides an articulate, hard-bitten realpolitik of solid philosophical and practical advice.

Historian, philosopher and social critic Yuval Noah Harari has become an influential public intellectual thanks to his bestsellers Sapiens and Homo Deus. The former addressed humankind’s past, the latter; its future. In this New York Times number one bestseller and Financial Times Best Book of the Year, Harari’s insights on human nature, artificial intelligence, war and today’s issues prove sharp, illuminating and, at times, hilarious.

If the future of humanity is decided in your absence, because you are too busy feeding and clothing your kids, you and they will not be exempt from the consequences.Yuval Noah Harari

Harari’s warnings are bleak, but the solutions he suggests in this frightening summary of the existential threats facing humankind offer a compelling call to immediate action.
