I read 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari and reviewed it as part of my ongoing series.

Quick review: I thoroughly enjoyed 21 Lessons, more a collection of meditations than a single tome. The book follows Harari’s two bestsellers, Sapiens and Homo Deus, in which he as a historian and philosopher explores how mankind came to be and where humanity is going. Both great reads in their own right, neither of the previous two books explore the challenges we face in the present age. 21 Lessons is focused squarely on the major themes and current affairs of today and, unlike previous works, Harari intends this book to me more of a conversation with the aim to “stimulate further thinking, and help readers participate in some of the major conversations of [the] time.”
