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

21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book’ Adam Kay

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.
