À propos de cet audio

 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.

For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?

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 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, nor is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.

“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.”
—The Economist

“Engrossing . . . A diagnosis and a call to action.”
—Guardian

“A useful, well-informed primer . . . wise and bold.”
—The New York Times

“Nexus is ambitious, bold and at times, unsettling. . . . For anyone interested in the intersection of history, technology and power, Harari once again provokes deep thought.”
—The Conversation

“A cautionary tale about the power of stories.”
—Publishers Weekly

“An important and timely must-read as our survival is at the mercy of information.”
—Booklist, starred review

“Confronting the avalanche of books on the prospects of AI, readers would do well to begin with this one.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Nexus will challenge your core beliefs about technology and information while leaving you grateful for the experience.”
—Dr. Joy Buolamwini, author of Unmasking AI

“Yuval Harari has a unique ability to unite both history’s finest details and its grandest megatrends in a single view. In this masterful and provocative new book, he makes a compelling case that information networks are—and always have been—the primary driving force shaping human societies. This deeply important argument comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production.”
—Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI

“Tremendous, thought-provoking, and so very well reasoned. Harari gives us a vision of a rapidly approaching future that is at one and the same time thrilling and chilling. If there is one book that I would urge everyone to read—our political, corporate, and cultural leaders most especially—it is Nexus.”
—Stephen Fry

“Harari is one of the most remarkable intellects of our generation—bold, original, erudite, provocative and entrancing. His latest book reimagines everything from literacy to AI and—like all his books—fundamentally shifts one’s view of the world.”
—Rory Stewart

Editorial Review

A synthesis of human history, for the AI age
Though you don’t need to have listened to Sapiens or Homo Deus to enjoy Nexus, Yuval Noah Harari’s latest feels like a logical continuation of his previous explorations of human history. Harari once again excels at distilling thousands of years of history into accessible observations that simultaneously feel both obvious and revelatory, this time performed by Vidish Athavale. From the oral storytelling of our past, to the audiobooks and podcasts of our present and the AI of our future, Harari shows how we’re on the precipice of another great (but potentially devastating) cultural and technological shift in information sharing – alongside some potential solutions to ensure that we continue to harness tech and information to our benefit, rather than our detriment. — Michael C., Audible Editor

we need a global effort and somehow regulate AI ahead of time. The first condition is impossible at this moment, the second condition is unlikely. Nuclear weapon and mutual distraction brought us peace. But soon AI can disable it. What would you do if you have a small window to destroy your enemies with nukes without retaliation?

Sometimes a little difficult to listen to due to the sometimes grim ideas presented, however, this, in my opinion, should be necessary reading for all highschools and universities.

Invariably important cautionary tale for the 21st century

This is one of my favorite authors, and he delivers a masterful exploration of how AI could reshape society and its norms. I find it particularly compelling how he illustrates the growing power of smaller groups to exert control over increasingly larger segments of society, and the profound implications of that shift. It’s an important thought exercise—one that urges us to deeply consider these impacts as we take intentional steps into an AI-driven future.

I’ve listened to all of Harari’s books.. Nexus to me is the final chapter of Homo sapiens. The one key take away that I get from all of his work is something that humanity has forgotten.. The most important thing in our reality is love. I define love as a force of creation. The intellect of mankind believes that it is beyond love, and has the capability of creating what the universe has already done for us perfectly. The moment that machines Trump love that is the moment of the end of humanity. In the last lines of the book. Harari speaks of the evolution of life, but I believe it is the evolution of mankind that is the real issue. Let us not implant ourselves with machines and let man instead understand the balance of nature. The balance of nature is the blending of man and woman, creating the child of love. And it is in this love that Humanity evolves.

With power comes great responsibility.
