四年前,尤瓦尔•赫拉利的《人类简史》横空出世,颠覆了我们关于人类进化的认知。2016年,他的《未来简史》再度惊艳四座,刷新了我们对未来的想象,掀起了全球关于人工智能讨论的新思潮。现在,“简史三部曲”收官之作《今日简史》推出,将目光聚焦到当下,直面今天关乎我们每个人命运的问题和挑战。 尤瓦尔•赫拉利认为,智人之所以能够崛起成为地球的主宰者,主要原因在于其具备了虚构故事的能力。然而,在当前这样一个分化的世界,我们对旧故事已失去信心,对新故事亦远未达成共识。
《今日简史》提出,当前人类社会面临着科技颠覆、生态崩溃和核战争三大挑战。“国家”这一身份认同已不足以应对今天的挑战,任何一个国家都无法独立解决全球性问题。人工智能和生物技术正在颠覆原有的社会结构和分配方式,数据成为最重要的资源。 当数据巨头比我们更了解自己,当“在线”成为一种生存方式,如何规范数据的所有权?能否建立起一个维护人类自由和平等的全球社群?人工智能和生物技术已使人类掌握了重塑和重新设计生命的能力。我们该如何运用这种能力,上演另一出全新大戏? 在一个信息爆炸却多半无用的世界,清晰的见解就成了一种力量。对于关乎人类命运的种种议题,尤瓦尔•赫拉利在《今日简史》中没有简单给出答案,而是引发了我们进一步思考。文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2083.html

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.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2083.html
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?文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2083.html
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.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2083.html
