Description

Nexus explores the history of information networks and how they have shaped human civilisation, from the earliest days of human communication in the Stone Age to the modern age of artificial intelligence.

In this thought-provoking book, Yuval Noah Harari examines how information has influenced the development of societies, governments, religions, political systems and cultures. He explores the role of storytelling, writing, printing, mass media and digital technology in connecting people, spreading ideas and shaping human beliefs.

The book also investigates the complicated relationship between information and truth, misinformation and power. It considers how information networks have helped societies organise themselves, build institutions and achieve great progress, while also contributing to manipulation, conflict and the spread of false beliefs.

Harari takes readers through important historical developments, including the influence of religious institutions, political movements and modern communication technologies. He also examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence and the challenges it may create for humanity.
