21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“21 Lessons for the 21st Century” is Yuval Noah Harari’s third book, the author of worldwide bestsellers “Sapiens. A Brief History of Humankind” and “Homo Deus. A Brief History of Tomorrow.” One of the most original thinkers of our time reflects on what it means to be human in the era of losing one’s bearings. Building on the ideas from his previous books, Professor Harari tries to unravel for us a knot of political, technological, social, and existential problems.

Whether humankind will be able to find adequate answers to the challenges it faces in the 21st century determines whether the Earth and its inhabitants will exist in the next century.

“Desperate times call for desperate measures.” The “Vimbo” production center prepared for you not just an audiobook, but a unique audio project. 5 chapters, 5 major challenges of humankind, 5 familiar voices that will make you hear what you’ve just been told in a new way:

— the chapter “The Technological Challenge” is read by Vladimir Zaitsev. An actor who has voiced more than a hundred characters, including the genius billionaire philanthropist and—most importantly—an unsurpassed technology expert: Tony Stark, the Iron Man.

— the chapter “The Political Challenge” is read by Nikita Prozorovsky. Over 5 seasons of voicing Kevin Spacey, who played the protagonist of “House of Cards,” this actor has become very well versed in today’s political nuances.

— the chapter “Despair and Hope” is voiced by Vladimir Eryomin. A dramatic text about terrorism, wars, and religions sounds especially striking in the performance of an actor who, above all, is associated with Al Pacino for us—that is, the man who played roles of gangsters, detectives, and even the devil himself.

— the chapter “Truth” sounds in the voice of Stanislav Koncevich. We will search for truth, discuss fantasies, question legends, and get to the truth together with the Russian voice of Tom Hanks, who played the brilliant professor Robert Langdon.

— the final chapter “Cognitive Flexibility” is read by Boris Smolkin—the voice of the main wise man of a far, faraway galaxy: Master Yoda. You absolutely must listen to this chapter.
