About the Book
What Harari has done here is quite a feat. He has squeezed what could easily have been a series of books into one volume, covering topics like:
- The resurrection of nationalism
- What to do in a post-jobs world
- The opportunity cost of fighting terrorism
- Why we need a deep understanding of suffering and how to attain it
- What should we teach our kids in school to prepare them for the future?
- How to live in the age of biotech, algorithms, and AI
- Is religion still relevant?
- Do we need a whole new ideology to deal with the problems of the 21st century when liberalism just won't cut it anymore?
- Culturism vs. Racism
โ๏ธ Verdict
The book is relevant, nuanced, and sometimes frightening. One of Bjorn's Favorite Books of 2018. Harari has a rare ability to take enormously complex topics and make them accessible without dumbing them down.
