This one is much harder to rate than his previous two books. He seems to challenge us to come up with some new plans, like my current nonfiction wip dealing with a long-term vision for how society could look, but also emphasizes self knowledge and flexibility for the uncertainty to come. There are no clear cur conclusions, but many worthy questions.

Again a very insightful and intelligble book by Harari. Although I sometimes find his nihilistic view on certain topics a little bit disturbing, it nonetheless serves as a powerful wake-up call

The title says 21 lessons, but this is not a how-to book. In fact, there are not even clear lessons which we can just read, learn and accept or deny. Just a lot to think about.

*facepalm* Panie autorze, you must be fun at parties. Jak ta książka mnie rozczarowała to chyba tylko ja wiem, oczekiwałam książki zmuszającej do myślenia, otwierającej nowe perspektywy, dostałam wręcz bzdury w dużej części, rozdział o terroryźmie - jeden wielki zgrzyt, ja rozumiem co chciano osiągnąć ale naprawdę w taki sposób? Wszelkie rozmyślania o Religi w pewnym momencie irytowały nawet mnie, ateistke. Kiedy widziałam w zdaniu sztuczną inteligencję, już wiedziałam, że będzie źle, początek był dobry tylko po to żeby się gwałtownie stoczyć, nie mówiąc już o tym jak pod płaszczykiem obiektywizmu dostajemy bardzo subiektywną opinię o wielu rzeczach i traktowanie tych samych idei w różnych kategoriach. Rozczarowanie.
