21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari


I did not like this one as much as his other books.  The Buddhist proselytism and weak scholarship are more glaring and grating.  And his ridiculous use of perceptive certainty right after describing how consciousness is illusory and manufactured emphasizes his lazy metaphysics.  But Harari is a great writer and has some original, fun ideas.  3/5 Stars.
