Professor Harari was born in Haifa, Israel, to Lebanese parents in 1976. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is now a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He specialized in World History, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
Prof. Harari also teaches a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled A Brief History of Humankind.
Prof. Harari twice won the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality, in 2009 and 2012. In 2011 he won the Society for Military History’s Moncado Award for outstanding articles in military history.
In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today's most pressing issues.
How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.
In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?
Harari's unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.
##比前两部作品随意了不少,大概因为话题很散没有什么结构可言。目测大型吐槽现场... 还是那个尤瓦尔.赫拉利,还是那样丰富的知识、犀利的观点、生动的语言、开阔的视野,只是关注的重点从人类从哪里来(人类简史),到哪里去(未来简史),转移到了人类当今需要关注的“大问题”。历史上的人类,主要面对的是饥饿、疾病、暴力、战争,虽然发展的道路非常曲折,但...
评分##和前面两本一样,依旧觉得很好看。这本更贴近现代的生活,提到的战争宗教社交媒体都更加地贴近当下的话题。其中告诉了我们其实人的思想是很容易被操纵的,意识到这一点才能思考自己的行为是否出于自己的真实愿望,还是出于文化社会宗教所引导我们的。
评分 评分##2019年Mark的第一本书。讲历史,政治,宗教,意识形态,AI。但是我比较感兴趣的还是education那一章,觉得很related。算了,以后还是不要看bill gates这种大神推荐的书了。没达到那个境界呢,还是看跟自己更相关的书比较有用。
评分##在《今日简史》之前,已经看过作者写的另外两本书。首先允许我吐槽一下这本书的名字,“今日”,“简史”,这两个词组合在一起,实在是太勉强了。不过考虑到出版方为了销量也很无奈,就这样吧,毕竟商人们都是“情少利心多”。 下面主要谈谈作者和这本书。 作者,尤瓦尔·赫拉...
评分##从Sapiens到21 Lessons,从人的局限到人造物和对物控制的极限,愿景就是个画的饼,饼在接下来的纪年是吃不到了,但思考的能力才是一直推着这个纰漏百出的世界进化下去的动力。
