Ten Lessons for a Post Pandemic World
Fareed Zakaria
A delightful book. As a fan of Zakaria's writing and TV show I felt somewhat obligated to give his long-form writing a try. Glad to say that it was worth it; the medium allows Zakaria to coalesce his knowledge across fields and convey the subject matter to readers quite easily. I think his lessons are all insightful and the book is structured such that each lesson feeds into the next which I thought worked quite well. Early lessons were sort of obvious to me, but from Lesson 7 (Inequality) onwards I learnt quite a bit. Thought his depiction of globalization was quite clear-eyed and found his writing on the potential futures of US-Sino relations comprehensive. Favorite parts were the small anecdotes Fareed uses to make a point. 'Nothing is written' from Lawrence of Arabia & the twin 'Locksley Hall' poems will stick with me for a while. Man, I hate 24 hour television news.
