Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI by Yuval

Description: Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari From renowned historian and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari comes the story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our worldFrom renowned historian and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari comes the story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our worldFor the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI - a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive?NEXUS considers 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 asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. NEXUS explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and of rediscovering our shared humanity.

Review [Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites * TELEGRAPH *A superb narrative writer * GUARDIAN *Engrossing . . . A diagnosis and a call to action . . . If [Nexus] sells anywhere near as well as Sapiens did, well be that bit better equipped as a species to deal with the rise of the machines * OBSERVER *Hararis narrative is engaging, and his framing is strikingly original * ECONOMIST *Tremendous, thought-provoking and so very well reasoned. Harari gives us a vision of a rapidly approaching future that is at one and the same time thrilling and chilling. If there is one book that I would urge everyone to read – our political, corporate and cultural leaders most especially – it is Nexus -- STEPHEN FRYHarari has a unique ability to unite both historys finest details and its grandest megatrends in a single view. This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI -- MUSTAFA SULEYMANHarari is one of the most remarkable intellects of our generation – bold, original, erudite, provocative and entrancing. His latest book reimagines everything from literacy to AI and – like all his books – fundamentally shifts ones view of the world -- RORY STEWART[An] always rewarding, often alarming book * LITERARY REVIEW * Details ISBN1911717081 Publisher Vintage Publishing Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781911717089 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-09-10 Imprint Fern Press Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General UK Release Date 2024-09-10 Author Yuval Noah Harari Subtitle A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI ISBN-10 1911717081 Pages 528 DEWEY 001.09 Alternative 9781529919240 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
