Yuval Noah Harari - 21 lecke a 21. századra - soft kötés

In our world flooded with irrelevant information, clairvoyance is power. Do we even understand the world we created? Do we know what is happening around us and what are the biggest challenges and decisions of the present? Do we know what to teach our children? This book is not intended as a historical narrative, but as a collection of selected lessons. But these lessons don't provide simple answers either. Their goal is to provoke further thought and help the reader participate in important conversations of our time.

Why is liberal democracy in crisis? What can we do against fake news spreading like an epidemic? Has God returned? Is a new world war coming? Which civilization rules the world? The West? China? Islam? Will Europe leave its doors open to immigrants? Can nationalism solve the problems of inequality and climate change? What should we do with terrorism?

Harari's first book, Sapiens, dealt with humanity's past, examining how an insignificant ape became the master of the planet. The second, Homo deus, explored the long-term future of life, reflected on how man can eventually become a god, and what will be the fate of reason and consciousness. In this book, he focuses on the present and the immediate future of human societies. It examines the forces that most shape the world and are most likely to influence the future of our planet. Some sections focus on technology, others on politics, religion or art. Certain chapters celebrate human wisdom, others highlight the crucial role of human stupidity. However, one question pervades all of these topics: what is happening in the world today, and what is the deeper meaning of these events?
