21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Twenty-one short chapters take on the questions that define the present century, from nuclear risk and ecological collapse to what work and meaning look like once technology reshapes both. Yuval Noah Harari writes in compact, self-contained pieces, which lets a reader take one topic at a time rather than following a single continuous argument. The concerns range across politics, technology, truth and belief, and the question underneath them is what being human still involves in an age that keeps unsettling the answer. Strengths of this title: • Twenty-one standalone lessons on contemporary problems • Coverage spanning technology, politics, war and meaning • Short chapters suited to reading in separate sittings • Argument aimed at general readers rather than specialists Written for readers thinking hard about where this century is heading, available from Boipoka.
