#1 Sapiens’s bestseling writer from New York Times has created information network, and our world is the story of Anamad.
For the last 100,000 years, we have gathered heavy power. But despite allotted discoveries, inventions and victory, now we find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological decline. Wrong notifications. And we are headed at AI’s age – a new information network that threatens to destroy us. Why are we so self-destructive for all what we have completed?
Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age through the Bible canonation, through the early modern witch-shikar, stalinism, nazism and the revival of localism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, knowledge and power. He investigates that various societies and political systems throughout the history have received information to achieve their goals, for good and sick. And he addresses immediate options that we encounter because non-human intelligence ends our existence.
Information is not the raw material of truth; Nor is it the only weapon. Nexus examines the optimistic middle ground amidst these extremities, and in doing so, discovers our shared humanity again.
