Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

The Story of How Information Shapes Civilisations

From the author of the global phenomenon Sapiens comes Nexus — Yuval Noah Harari's most urgent and far-reaching work yet. In a world being rapidly reshaped by artificial intelligence, Harari asks the questions that matter most: How does information create power? What happens when the networks that connect us also control us? And what does the rise of AI mean for the future of humanity?

Spanning from the Stone Age to the algorithmic present, Nexus traces the history of information networks — from cave paintings and sacred texts to printing presses, social media, and now AI — and reveals how each revolution in information has transformed human societies, for better and for worse.

Brilliant, provocative, and essential, Nexus is a book for anyone trying to make sense of the world we are building — and the one we risk losing.
