Nexus

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 has a unique ability to unite both history’s finest details and its grandest megatrends in a single view. This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI

MUSTAFA SULEYMAN

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

[Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites

TELEGRAPH

[An] always rewarding, often alarming book

LITERARY REVIEW

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

OBSERVER

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

ECONOMIST

A superb narrative writer

GUARDIAN

[Harari] connects past and future in a way that’s both enlightening and a little eerie. Nexus isn’t just a critique of technology; it’s a reflection on how we’ve always been vulnerable to those who control information. It’s a wake-up call in the gentlest, most urgent way

YOTAM OTTOLENGHI

Yuval Noah Harari is the undisputed maestro of the big idea . . . Nobody can pull of a big theory as suavely as he can

THE TIMES

[A] thoughtful book . . . An important perspective at a time when the info-wars seem likely to only get worse

Gillian Tett, FINANCIAL TIMES

[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

A useful, well-informed primer . . . Wise and bold

NEW YORK TIMES

One of our foremost big-picture thinkers about the grand sweep of humanity, history and the future

TIME

Nexus is an important book and comes at an important time in human history

SCIENCE

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

Nexus will challenge your core beliefs about technology and information while leaving you grateful for the experience

DR JOY BUOLAMWINI, author of UNMASKING AI

In Nexus, Yuval Noah Harari uses information networks as the backbone of human evolution, offering profound insights into how technological progress reshapes our social structures and individual lives. His unique perspectives and deep understanding of the age of artificial intelligence is especially pertinent in the current wave of transformations driven by generative AI. The book urges us to reassess the relationship between humans and AI and how we can ensure that technological progress serves the greater good for humanity

KAI-FU LEE, author of AI 2041

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
