Praise for Fareed Zakaria's previous works:

"Fareed Zakaria has been consistently brilliant in his analysis of world affairs but also something far more rare; he has turned out to be right. Now he has produced another masterpiece of insight."
- Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein

"Rarely does a young author and journalist come along in possession of a prophetic brilliance, near-perfect clarity, and a stirring eloquence that combine to inform his readers concerning what lies ahead on the international landscape. Such a person is Fareed Zakaria...In writing this book, Zakaria has performed a great service to America and the rest of the world...Readers will be greatly enlightened and richly rewarded by Zakaria's exquisite understanding of international relationships, global politics, and economic development."
- Claude Lewis, Philadelphia Inquirer

"A work of tremendous originality and insight...[M]akes you see the world differently."
- Timothy Noah, Washington Post

"Fareed Zakaria, whose wise and perceptive editorials...should be required reading for policymakers around the planet, has written a minor masterpiece...[R]ead Zakaria to know what has, should and will happen."
- Jason Burke, Guardian

"Zakaria's provocative and wide-ranging book is eminently worth reading...His book displays a kind of argumentation, grounded in history and political philosophy, of which there is precious little these days, particularly among opinion columnists."
- John B. Judis, Foreign Affairs

"Zakaria...may have more intellectual range and insights than any other public thinker in the West."
- David M. Shribman, Boston Sunday Globe

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.
