具体描述
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.

##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

##对 Harari 的批评看过很多。不过他非常值得学习的是叙事技巧。从《人类简史》开始，看完就会自动记住他写了什么。这本书也是，我简直可以复述 Nationalism 和 Secularism 两章的全部内容。对普通读者来说，这样的谈资类读物，能替代微信公号毒物也是好的。
##All too familiar. All too agreeable. 所以赶忙找一本Intellectuals and society出来给自己敲敲钟。
##2019年Mark的第一本书。讲历史，政治，宗教，意识形态，AI。但是我比较感兴趣的还是education那一章，觉得很related。算了，以后还是不要看bill gates这种大神推荐的书了。没达到那个境界呢，还是看跟自己更相关的书比较有用。
##All too familiar. All too agreeable. 所以赶忙找一本Intellectuals and society出来给自己敲敲钟。
##和前面两本一样，依旧觉得很好看。这本更贴近现代的生活，提到的战争宗教社交媒体都更加地贴近当下的话题。其中告诉了我们其实人的思想是很容易被操纵的，意识到这一点才能思考自己的行为是否出于自己的真实愿望，还是出于文化社会宗教所引导我们的。
##从Sapiens到21 Lessons，从人的局限到人造物和对物控制的极限，愿景就是个画的饼，饼在接下来的纪年是吃不到了，但思考的能力才是一直推着这个纰漏百出的世界进化下去的动力。
##Harari，真的不能再这样下去啦，得有新货啊～
