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.

繼《人類簡史》、《未來簡史》之後,以色列曆史學傢赫拉利又推齣新作《今日簡史》。與之前兩本的寫法類似,赫拉利依然展現瞭他旁徵博引的廣博知識以及身為曆史學傢,組織材料來論證觀點的專業功力。在《今日簡史》中,他探討瞭西方主流政治體製在新時代可能遭遇的問題,而引發...
評分 評分《今日簡史》留給大多數讀者的印象是"災難敘事"與危機感。筆者將從另一橫切麵展開。 "虛構"一詞是《今日簡史》給筆者留下較深印象的一個詞。"虛構"一詞,隻留給筆者"故意捏造"這一意象,是個貶義詞。但《後真相時代:謊言萬世永存》一章,展示瞭理解"虛構"的另一維度。 "隻要人...

評分殷羅畢 今天來聊一個日益嚴重,始終壓迫著殷羅畢神經的問題。這個問題帶來的巨大陰影,殷羅畢在周遭的人身上也時不時地撞見。 比如在北京鬍同裏一個細雨稀疏的黃昏。 當時,殷羅畢結束瞭公司一天的各種會議,正往租住的公寓走去。前麵有兩個明擺著與未來科技或人類大議題不會有...

“It’s much harder to struggle against irrelevance than against exploitation”
評分他的前兩本書,幾乎是驚鴻一瞥,深度和廣度都讓人嘆為觀止,到瞭這一本,我覺得幾乎就是在炒未來簡史的冷飯瞭。
評分對 Harari 的批評看過很多。不過他非常值得學習的是敘事技巧。從《人類簡史》開始,看完就會自動記住他寫瞭什麼。這本書也是,我簡直可以復述 Nationalism 和 Secularism 兩章的全部內容。對普通讀者來說,這樣的談資類讀物,能替代微信公號毒物也是好的。
評分整本書感覺還是太空洞. 很多小essays串起來的, 質量參差不齊, 有的章讀起來還算有趣 (例子好). 講瞭半天最後收斂到瞭meditation這種玄乎的東西上麵瞭, 也沒拿齣個辦法. 叫做*lessons*太過瞭. 也許適閤科普給中小學生看看...
評分個人覺得先讀這本入門,再讀sapiens和homo deus比較好。內容有重閤的部分但不多,這本什麼都說一點,另外兩本再往不同角度深挖。很想見見作者,問問他對未來中國的看法。
