What do we really need to know in today's world? In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment
Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University
of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
specialising in world history. His two books, Sapiens- A Brief
History of Humankind and Homo Deus- A Brief History of
Tomorrow, have become global bestsellers, with more than 12
million copies sold, and translations in more than forty-five
languages.
"Fascinating... compelling... [Harari] has teed up a crucial global
conversation about how to take on the problems of the 21st
century." -- Bill Gates * New York Times *
"The great thinker of our age." * The Times *
"Truly mind-expanding... Ultra-topical... Harari's big selling
point [is] the ambition and breadth of his work, smashing together
unexpected ideas into dazzling observations." * Guardian *
"Erudite, illuminating, vivid. [Harari's] lessons suggest new ways
of thinking about current problems... a splendid, sobering,
stirring call to arms." * Sunday Times *
"There is surely no one alive who is better at explaining our world
than Yuval Noah Harari - he is the lecturer we all wish we'd had at
university. Reading this book, I must have interrupted my partner a
hundred times to pass on fascinating things I'd just read. Harari
has done it again - 21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book." --
Adam Kay
"More comprehensible [than Sapiens and Homo Deus]... showing you
things you thought you knew about in a completely new way... I find
Harari's writing exhilarating." * Radio Times *
"Harari thrills his readers because he addresses the biggest
possible topics with confidence and brio. Compared with the
subjects he tackles, anything else we might read looks piffling and
parochial." * Evening Standard *
"Harari's genius at weaving together insights from different
disciplines, ranging from ancient history to neuroscience to
philosophy to artificial intelligence, has enabled him to respond
to the clamour to understand where we have come from and where we
might be heading... 21 Lessons is lit up by flashes of intellectual
adventure and literary verve." * Financial Times *
"Written in the author's trademark lucid prose, the book makes
difficult concept comprehensible, and is very much a work for our
times... 21 Lessons absorbs from start to finish." -- Ian Thomson *
Tablet *
"A terrific primer on where we are now and where we might be
heading... Harari is a superb global cartographer, and 21 Lessons
for the 21st Century is a lucid and essential read." -- Marina
Vaizey * Arts Desk *
