21 Lessons for the 21st Century
What if the invisible algorithms shaping your life are quietly rewriting the future of humanity—and you’re already complicit? In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari confronts the existential riddles of our age—AI rebellion, political chaos, and the obsolescence of the human heart—as ordinary people grapple with truths that could dismantle their careers, relationships, and sanity. But when the stories we’ve built civilization on collapse, will adaptation mean liberation… or extinction? What if the most dangerous illusion is the one we’re living right now?
