最近看完了尤瓦尔·赫拉利的简史三部曲中的最新的一本《今日简史》,和前两本一样,语言幽默流畅,有很多值得思考的观点,可读性很强。虽然这本书花很大篇幅讨论了许多当下时事,但我更感兴趣书中关于人类社会近期未来的讨论,尤其是和自己密切相关的——未来的工作和儿童的教...
评分《今日简史》留给大多数读者的印象是"灾难叙事"与危机感。笔者将从另一横切面展开。 "虚构"一词是《今日简史》给笔者留下较深印象的一个词。"虚构"一词,只留给笔者"故意捏造"这一意象,是个贬义词。但《后真相时代:谎言万世永存》一章,展示了理解"虚构"的另一维度。 "只要人...
评分殷罗毕 今天来聊一个日益严重,始终压迫着殷罗毕神经的问题。这个问题带来的巨大阴影,殷罗毕在周遭的人身上也时不时地撞见。 比如在北京胡同里一个细雨稀疏的黄昏。 当时,殷罗毕结束了公司一天的各种会议,正往租住的公寓走去。前面有两个明摆着与未来科技或人类大议题不会有...
评分80后以前的中国人知道“大历史”这三个字,绝大多数是源于华人历史学家黄仁宇。曾几何时,一本《万历十五年》是令无数国人打开双眼的灯盏,那种以小见大、纵横捭阖的论述方式影响之大,不仅在于启迪了无数的后来者,甚至限制了后来几十年中一般人对于历史及其阐述的普通认知。 ...

图书标签: 社会学 人类学 历史 英文原版 社科 YuvalNoahHarari 人文 科普
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.
他的前两本书,几乎是惊鸿一瞥,深度和广度都让人叹为观止,到了这一本,我觉得几乎就是在炒未来简史的冷饭了。
评分writing真好
评分车轱辘话来回说
评分那些奇怪本书最后为什么是禅修的人根本就没有看懂Yuval——他的根本思想就是佛学的,他的第一本书,就像力学对数学来讲是应用数学一样,他的人类学简直可以说是应用佛学。当然,如果你眼中的佛学是烧香求佛观音送子,那么我们说的不是一件事。甚至也不是说不得讲不清的禅理,看不见摸不着的开悟。
评分个人觉得先读这本入门,再读sapiens和homo deus比较好。内容有重合的部分但不多,这本什么都说一点,另外两本再往不同角度深挖。很想见见作者,问问他对未来中国的看法。
