21 Lessons for the 21st Century By Yuval Noah Harari – Book(Pdf).

In a world obscured by insignificant information, clarity is a force for good. Research works not by blocking the flow of information, but by filling people with disinformation and distractions. The 21st-century studies break through these muddy waters and address some of the most pressing questions in today’s world system.

Why is democracy in crisis? Has God returned? Is a new world war coming? What does the rise of Donald Trump mean? What can we do about the epidemic of false news? Which civilization dominates the world – the West, China, Islam? Should Europe keep its doors open for immigrants? Can nationalism solve the problems of inequality and climate change? What should we do about terrorism? What should we teach our children?

Millions of us cannot afford to spend time researching these questions because we have so many stressful things to do: go to work, take care of children, or care for aging parents. Unfortunately, history does not allow it. If the future of humanity is decided when you are not there, because you are too busy feeding and dressing your children – you too will not be relieved of the consequences. This is absolutely wrong; but who said history was right?

The book does not provide food or clothing – but it can provide some clarity, thus helping to set the stage for a global playground. If this book empowers even a handful of people to join the debate on the future of our species, it has done its job.
