Synopses & Reviews
Lenin once said, "There are
decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen."
This is one
of those times when history has sped up. CNN host and best-selling
author Fareed Zakaria helps readers to understand the nature of a
post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic
consequences that may take years to unfold.
Written in the form of ten
"lessons," covering topics from natural and biological risks to the rise
of "digital life" to an emerging bipolar world order, Zakaria helps
readers to begin thinking beyond the immediate effects of COVID-19. Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
speaks to past, present, and future, and, while urgent and timely, is
sure to become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first
century.
