À propos de cet audio
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.

Les histoires nous ont réunis. Les livres ont diffusé nos idées et nos mythologies. Internet nous a promis le savoir infini. Les algorithmes ont découvert nos secrets – et nous ont divisés. Quel monde nous promet l’IA ? Depuis cent mille ans, nous, les Sapiens, avons acquis un gigantesque pouvoir. Mais malgré nos découvertes, inventions et conquêtes, nous sommes aujourd’hui confrontés à une crise existentielle inédite. Le monde est au bord de l’effondrement écologique. Les tensions politiques se multiplient. La désinformation abonde.

Histoire273
Charlie Gordon knows that he isn't very bright. At 32, he mops floors in a bakery and earns just enough to get by. Three evenings a week, he studies at a center for mentally challenged adults. But all of this is about to change for Charlie. As part of a daring experiment, doctors are going to perform surgery on Charlie's brain. They hope the operation and special medication will increase his intelligence, just as it has for the laboratory mouse, Algernon.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“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
