ADVANCE PRAISE FOR YUVAL NOAH HARARI and 21 LESSONS FOR THE 21st CENTURY

“Truly mind-expanding . . .  Ultra-topical . . .  Harari’s big selling point [is] the ambition and breadth of his work, smashing together unexpected ideas into dazzling observations.” —The Guardian

“Erudite, illuminating, vivid. [Harari’s] lessons suggest new ways of thinking about current problems. . . .  a splendid, sobering, stirring call to arms.” —Sunday Times

“This well-informed and searching book is one to be savoured and widely discussed.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

“More comprehensible [than Sapiens and Homo Deus] . . . showing you things you thought you knew about in a completely new way . . .  I find Harari’s writing exhilarating.” —The Radio Times

“Harari thrills his readers because he addresses the biggest possible topics with confidence and brio. Compared with the subjects he tackles, anything else we might read looks piffling and parochial.” —Evening Standard

“Harari’s genius at weaving together insights from different disciplines, ranging from ancient history to neuroscience to philosophy to artificial intelligence, has enabled him to respond to the clamour to understand where we have come from and where we might be heading . . .  21 Lessons is lit up by flashes of intellectual adventure and literary verve.” —Financial Times

21 Lessons for the 21st Century will complete a Harari hat-trick of classics . . .  The clarity of Harari’s vision is astonishing... thanks to him, the world makes better sense to many more of us.” —The Bookseller

“Modern life can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, Yuval Noah Harari’s new book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is on hand to guide us through it . . . poolside reading with purpose.” —Elle
Born in Haifa, Israel, in 1976, YUVAL NOAH HARARI received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is currently a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Published in 2014, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind has become an international hit and is published in nearly 40 languages worldwide. It was listed on the Sunday Times bestseller list for over six months in paperback, and was a New York Times top 10 bestseller. In 2016, Harari published Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, which was also a widely hailed international bestseller. He lectures around the world on the topics explored in his books and articles, and has written for newspapers such as the Guardian, Financial Times, The Times and the Wall Street Journal. He also offers his knowledge and time to various organizations and audiences on a voluntary basis.
