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

How Information Networks Shaped Our World—and What AI Means for Our Future!

Following the global phenomenons of Sapiens and Homo Deus, visionary thinker Yuval Noah Harari returns with Nexus, a groundbreaking exploration of the one thing that has defined human survival and dominance: information. But if humans are so intelligent, why are we currently on the verge of self-destruction?

Harari takes readers on a sweeping journey from the Stone Age to the modern era, revealing how information networks have built empires, sparked revolutions, and driven us toward unprecedented cooperation. However, Nexus shatters a massive illusion: that more information naturally leads to truth and wisdom. From the invention of writing and the printing press to the rise of mass media, information has often been used to create order, enforce power, and spread devastating myths.

Today, we face the ultimate information network—Artificial Intelligence. Unlike the printing press or the radio, AI is not just a tool; it is an alien intelligence capable of creating new ideas and making its own decisions. Nexus serves as an urgent, fascinating warning about the risks of surrendering our world to algorithms before we truly understand them.

"Information is not the same as truth. It is the glue that holds human networks together, for better or worse." — Yuval Noah Harari
