Yuval Noah Harari's new book "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" is brilliant.

He explains issues facing modern society such as the failures of liberal democracies and rapid technological development and provides talking points and solutions on how humanity can somehow cope. This gave me a greater understanding about why the world seems like such a mess right while also scaring the crap out of me with what the future might hold. My favourite bit of advise was that due to how quickly society is changing for the first time in history children should no longer look to their parents for guidance.

I enjoy Harari's writing style and he is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. I would even consider him to be the new Jared Diamond.
