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.
在《今日简史》之前,已经看过作者写的另外两本书。首先允许我吐槽一下这本书的名字,“今日”,“简史”,这两个词组合在一起,实在是太勉强了。不过考虑到出版方为了销量也很无奈,就这样吧,毕竟商人们都是“情少利心多”。 下面主要谈谈作者和这本书。 作者,尤瓦尔·赫拉...
评分个体之于群体永远是支离破碎的。构成个体的组分有很多,比如生命物质、个体经验、反应模式等,但对于群体来说,个体在群体中的数据才是一个个个体之于群体的存在意义。平时我们说“个体构成群体”实际上并不并准确——一群智人站在一起不能构成社会,因为社会第一不是实体,第...
评分2046年,一家叫HW的公司,开发出了Xg网络。Xg网络不仅提供了全方位无死角的国内任意地点的网络连接,包括密封起来的地下室、偏僻未开发的荒山野岭,而且几乎是“无限带宽”,这只是商家的宣传用语,当然不可能提供无限带宽,只是任何信息交换都可以在瞬间完成,你觉察不到任何...
评分殷罗毕 今天来聊一个日益严重,始终压迫着殷罗毕神经的问题。这个问题带来的巨大阴影,殷罗毕在周遭的人身上也时不时地撞见。 比如在北京胡同里一个细雨稀疏的黄昏。 当时,殷罗毕结束了公司一天的各种会议,正往租住的公寓走去。前面有两个明摆着与未来科技或人类大议题不会有...
有笑话说:只有两种人敢对这世上所有事情夸夸其谈,一种是经济学家,另一种是白痴,但总分不清前后者。我觉得可以加第三种:历史学家了。Yuval深谙畅销之道:provocative加一点点witty。但我觉得把这些热搜话题放到历史大视角去再看也挺好的。quick read
评分一本不如一本,很多内容如果看过前两本的话,都是炒冷饭(其实第二本的前100页也都是炒第一本的冷饭)不过也合理,总不能要求全部人都按着顺序三本读下来,总要给点context。就算是这样,里面还是有很多很多很有趣的观点!highlight了很多。但是最后一张居然让大家禅修和打坐(好啦,其实是冥想)真的很虚了。我没有这个境界!!
评分或许是自己和作者共享许多看法的缘故,这些essay读起来没有Sapiens时的惊艳,但是在似乎愈发混乱的当下读到清醒的文字也算是一份慰藉。这个时代有这个时代的荒唐,但若有更多的人愿意尝试跳出自我,国家,文化,宗教等等的狭隘眼界,或许未来犹待可期。
评分Harari,真的不能再这样下去啦,得有新货啊~
评分个人觉得先读这本入门,再读sapiens和homo deus比较好。内容有重合的部分但不多,这本什么都说一点,另外两本再往不同角度深挖。很想见见作者,问问他对未来中国的看法。
