Description
As the world has navigated three major crises since the end of the Cold War - 9/11, the financial collapse of 2008 and Covid-19 - Fareed Zakaria reflects on how history has sped up. In his urgent and timely book, Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World, he explores the consequences that may take years to unfold.
Through ten surprising 'lessons', Zakaria examines the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of old political categories, the rise of 'digital life' and the future of globalization. He invites us to think about our true nature as social animals with community embedded in our lives, and how we can shape our own destiny.
This book is a thought-provoking reflection on life in the early twenty-first century, speaking to both past, present and future. It offers a unique perspective on the world we live in today and the one we may be entering tomorrow.
