21世紀的21堂課

　　在一個資訊滿滿卻多半無用的世界上，

　　清楚易懂的見解，就成了一種力量。

　　—— 哈拉瑞

　　在《Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 人類大歷史》，哈拉瑞展現了他「後見之明」的洞識，深刻闡述了人類簡史；

　　在《Homo Deus The Brief History of Tomorrow 人類大命運》，哈拉瑞則以他「先見之明」的睿智，為我們預示了未來簡史。

　　而在這本「人類三部曲」的第三部《21世紀的21堂課》，哈拉瑞聚焦於此時此地，

　　關注的是資訊科技和生物科技攜手之後，科技為社會帶來的巨大顛覆與重塑，

　　以及川普粉墨登場、難民湧入歐洲、恐怖攻擊迭起、假新聞到處流竄……

　　世事紛紛擾擾之際，我們應該思索、也應該教導孩子的21項核心課題，

　　諸如：

　　♦ 天然愚蠢遇上人工智慧，人類還剩下什麼能力勝過人工智慧？

　　♦ 系統性大規模失業危機無可避免？「無用階級」將大量暴增？

　　♦ 社經精英不再剝削勞工了，因為已不需要這些「無用階級」？

　　♦ 我們該提防機器人，還是該提防機器人的主人？

　　♦ 資產誠可貴，資料價更高？擁有資料數據者，得天下？

　　♦ 你真以為有「自由意志」？還是改聽大數據和演算法的就對了？

　　♦ 神有兩種，你相信哪一種？信眾的行為決定了神的價值？

　　♦ 假新聞萬世永存？宗教神話就是流傳千年的假新聞？

　　♦ 恐怖主義是全球政治問題？宗教問題？還是社會心理機制問題？

　　♦ 我們的正義感可能已經過時？如何在全球化的世界實現正義？

　　♦ 如果世間皆是虛假，「自我」也是虛構的故事，那麼人生意義何在？

　　《21世紀的21堂課》是現代智人的必修課，

　　是洞悉世局變幻、洞察社會趨向、洞燭心靈深處的必修課。

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED

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.

Yuval Noah Harari has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. His two previous books, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, have become global bestsellers, with more than fifteen million copies sold and translations in more than fifty languages.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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.

“Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review

“If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)
