The mind-blowing story of how information networks – from the stone age to AI - have shaped 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.

‘If you read only one non-fiction book this year, consider this one’ TOM HANKS

‘If there’s one book that I would urge everyone to read – it is Nexus’ STEPHEN FRY

Reviews

Yuval Noah Harari is the undisputed maestro of the big idea . . . Nobody can pull of a big theory as suavely as he can
[Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites
A superb narrative writer
[A] thoughtful book . . . An important perspective at a time when the info-wars seem likely to only get worse (Gillian Tett)
[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
A useful, well-informed primer . . . Wise and bold
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
One of our foremost big-picture thinkers about the grand sweep of humanity, history and the future

Fabulous writing as usual. He lays the risks in detail and in wide context. The experience was somewhat learned for me by the quality of narration. The narrator mispronounced many words and didn't quite get the tone right for me.

A zoomed-out portrait of risk
