Yuval Noah Harari in Conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin: Nexus

Join renowned historian and #1 bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari (Sapiens) on the evolution of information networks and how knowledge as we know it has made and unmade our world — and his new book, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI.

For the last 100,000 years, human beings have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, 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. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive? In Nexus, Yuval Noah Harari takes on this profound question and much more — and in so doing reveals the hidden connections between bureaucracy, mythology, ancient wisdom, and modern power. A profoundly original thinker, hear him as he explores how our societies and political systems have shaped the way we imagine and organize information and perhaps our most precious commodity: thought itself.
