Book review:

21 Lessons for the 21st Century

by Yuval Noah Harari, PhD (b1976)

New York: Spiegel & Grau, imprint of Random House, 2018

372 pages

Harari considers many of the questions that are plaguing 21st century liberal democracies, and the other folks, too.

Perhaps the predominant takeaway of 21 Lessons is that things are changing rapidly, and the unknowable future will be on us during our lifetimes.

If we do not try to deal more effectively and more urgently with the frightful challenges of burgeoning infotech and biotech, and the inescapable constraint of manmade climate change, and our own social, economic, and political shortcomings, we’ll unavoidably learn that we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Harari is a deep thinker, a provocative intellect, and a blunt writer who calls you to risk learning more truth.
