Why people recommend it
Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari is a brief history of information networks spanning from the Stone Age to the age of artificial intelligence. On The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, Steven Bartlett praised the book as brilliant and told listeners it was an absolute must-read, using it to question the author about the future of human governance and information network solutions. Bill Gates mentioned the book on On Purpose with Jay Shetty to illustrate how new media and technologies, such as early printing presses, are not always applied beneficially at first. On The Jordan Harbinger Show, Jordan Harbinger brought up the book to discuss the naive view of information and how artificial intelligence alters information security dynamics. Additionally, Rich Roll featured the book on The Rich Roll Podcast as the foundational text for a conversation on how information networks have closely tracked human progress and why artificial intelligence will pose the greatest disruption in civilization's history.
