Episode description

21 Lessons for the 21st Century - by Yuval Noah Harari

 

We created myths to unite our species.

We tamed nature to give us power. 

We are now redesigning life to fulfill our wildest dreams.

But do we know ourselves any more? Or will our inventions make us irrelevant?

 

21 Lessons is an exploration of what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment.

 

How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children? This book explores all of these vital questions and more.
