Book, Notes on the pandemic and brief lessons for the post-choir world[LS]

In this unprecedented collection of articles and interviews, Harari discusses the impact and consequences of the covid-19 pandemic. Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari examines the dilemmas of the historical crossroads caused by the new coronavirus pandemic in the articles and interviews gathered in this unprecedented collection. Originally published in outlets such as Time magazine and the Financial Times and The Guardian newspapers, they explore themes such as the ideological dispute between nationalist isolationism and global cooperation, the risk of the rise of totalitarian states in the wake of new mass monitoring technologies and the possible impacts of the virus on the contemporary conception of death. Harari develops his arguments with the clarity of vision and style that made him famous, interweaving the paths and paths of humanity between the past, present and future. The good news, he points out, is that most of the planet agrees to focus efforts on scientific advances in search of a cure and a vaccine for Covid-19 – but this will only happen if cooperation between nations is the priority of current leaders.
