Description

The famous historian and Sunday Times #1 bestselling author, Yuval Noah Harari, examines the history of how information networks have shaped and deconstructed our world.

For the last 100,000 years, Homo sapiens have amassed immense power. However, despite our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now face an existential threat. The world is on the brink of ecological collapse. Misinformation is widespread. And we are rushing headlong into the era of artificial intelligence – a new information network that threatens to wipe us out. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive?

NEXUS explores how the flow of information has shaped us and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the Bible, early modern witch hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari invites us to examine the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He examines how different societies and political systems have used information to achieve their goals, for better or worse. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.
