What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The story of how information networks have made, and unmade, 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.

Critics Review

Yuval Noah Harari is the undisputed maestro of the big idea . . . Nobody can pull of a big theory as suavely as he can
THE TIMES
[Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites
TELEGRAPH
A superb narrative writer
GUARDIAN
[A] thoughtful book . . . An important perspective at a time when the info-wars seem likely to only get worse
FINANCIAL TIMES
[Harari] makes fun of people like myself who saw more information as always a good thing . . . I would basically say he’s right and I was wrong
BILL GATES
If you read only one non-fiction book this year, consider this one, to know more of our history and be aware our choices to come
TOM HANKS
Engrossing . . . A diagnosis and a call to action . . . If [Nexus] sells anywhere near as well as Sapiens did, we’ll be that bit better equipped as a species to deal with the rise of the machines
OBSERVER
A useful, well-informed primer . . . Wise and bold
NEW YORK TIMES
A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly . . . Harari's narrative is engaging, and his framing is strikingly original
ECONOMIST
One of our foremost big-picture thinkers about the grand sweep of humanity, history and the future
TIME

A vital book for any and everyone to read about how history (from ancient times to very recent times) can inform us to manage the AI revolution without destroying humanity. Very clearly and engagingly told by a true master of history & story telling. A must read!
