**THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER**

The future is here. Learn to live in it.

In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment.

How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children?

Yuval Noah Harari takes us on a thrilling journey through today’s most urgent issues. The golden thread running through his exhilarating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of constant and disorienting change. Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?

‘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

You. Should. Read. This. Book! No seriously, read it! If you are remotely interested in our future and its main challenges - read it. If you are a society shaper in any way (politician, teacher, start-up owner, biologist, you name it) - READ IT. This should be mandatory for every single person in a position of power. Majors, MPs, Presidents, but also the richest 1%. And for all those other 99% of us, we should be wanting to read this even more!!!!! I borrowed my copy from my dad but I will definitely ask him if I can keep it because I will want to read this again in the future!

Das Buch beschreibt von der Meta- bis zur Mikrobene die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Die größte Erkenntnis ist für mich das Erzählen von Geschichten – die Geschichten, die uns eine Religion oder eine Nation erzählen. Beide sind, wie jede andere Geschichte auch, konstruiert, um uns nicht im bedeutungslosen Raum zurückzulassen. Um auf keine noch so gute Geschichte hereinzufallen, schlägt er Meditation vor und, die eigene Realität zu finden. Das Buch hat meinen Horizont erweitert.

Overall a disappointment. I really enjoyed Hararis other books, but this little thing just cramed 21 very serious topics into one book. It offers hardly any insights, calling it "lessons" just bends the bar. Terrorism, Religion, Equality, Immigration, Fake news etc,: each of this topics can't be thrown into the room without context and background for discussion. Also, I didn't appreciate the dominating Russia bashing. What I took from the book is that Harari likes to meditate and meditation is the key to see reality for what it is. Not what I expected and paid for. Not what Yival Harari usually delivers.

Got an appetite for more after Homo Deus, and it’s more of the same. Definitely totally great. If you want to know what you are, where you come from and where you go, this is a well written all explaining philosophical resource for you. Wished that everybody read these two books. Definitely highly recommended.
