Nexus written by Yuval Noah Harari - Book Review

from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal

'Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI' 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 canonization of 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 throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.Order links of the book 'Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI' below:Amazon India:PaperbackKindleAudibleAmazon USA:HardcoverKindleAudibleFlipkart:PaperbackAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
