21世紀的21堂課 book pdf download By Yuval Noah Harari

在《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《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。

About the Author: Jonathan Swift is an Irish writer, political critic, and clergyman. He published many books and literature, the most important and most famous of which was “Gulliver’s Travels”, which includes four parts.
Jonathan Swift, one of the first critics of the English language, was a noted political writer, poet, and clergyman. He was born in Ireland and lost his father at an early age to be taken care of by his uncle.
With the beginnings of the glorious revolution in Ireland he was forced to emigrate to England, where he worked with Sir William Temple and got to experience a life of luxury and power. At a young age, he often moved between Ireland and England, and Swift entered the Church of Ireland at the same time as his poor cousin in the Church of England.
When he returned to Ireland he held the position of Dean of Saints at Patrick’s Cathedral and continued to do so until his death. As a writer, he wrote most of his works under pseudonyms, and today we mention his best satirical prose work, Gulliver’s Travels.
Gulliver’s Travels, his most famous work, was first published on September 28, 1726 and modified in 1735, and it is considered a classic English literature, and many were mistaken in thinking that it was a children’s book and in fact it was satirical prose. He mocks not only British policy against the Irish but also the oppression of the poor.|Swift lived for a long time in Trim, and a frequent satirical festival called the Trim Swift Festival was held.
