Nexus

£12.99

For the last 100,000 years, humans 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.

Description

‘If you read only one non-fiction book this year, consider this one’ TOM HANKS

‘If there’s one book that I would urge everyone to read – it is Nexus‘ STEPHEN FRY

The mind-blowing story of how information networks – from the stone age to AI -have shaped our world from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Sapiens

Stories brought us together.

Books spread our ideas – and our mythologies.

The internet promised infinite knowledge.

The algorithm learned our secrets – and then turned us against each other.

What will AI do?

Nexus is the thrilling account of how we arrived at this moment, and the urgent choices we must now make to survive – and to thrive.
