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.
公众号:埋埋的九分书屋 在书店闲逛时看见新出炉的《今日简史》时有些意外,因为读完《人类简史》与《未来简史》时我认为故事已经完整了,上下两部已经将作者想要表达的整个思想体系描述清楚了。结果《今日简史》的到来,把这套书变成了上中下。后来在读完全书后再去看序言与致...
评分预定了这本书,想必会满意,至少也是颇值得一读。毕竟《人类简史》和《未来简史》震撼到我了,作者的学识和洞见令人印象深刻。 只是,人家书名明明是《21 Lessons for the 21st Century》,你翻译的副标题《 人类命运大议题 》也就罢了,非要凑热度“简史”再弄个《今日简史》...

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。 ...
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。
评分有笑话说:只有两种人敢对这世上所有事情夸夸其谈,一种是经济学家,另一种是白痴,但总分不清前后者。我觉得可以加第三种:历史学家了。Yuval深谙畅销之道:provocative加一点点witty。但我觉得把这些热搜话题放到历史大视角去再看也挺好的。quick read
评分其实终结于禅修冥想挺好的...
评分和前两本差距有点大,没有纵向参考系的当下的事确实最难写啊
评分“It’s much harder to struggle against irrelevance than against exploitation”
