From the bestselling author of Sapiens and Homo Deus comes Nexus, a bold exploration of the most urgent question of our era: how will humanity adapt to the rise of truly autonomous artificial intelligence? Drawing from centuries of history and philosophy, Yuval Noah Harari warns that the "naive view of information"—the belief that more data naturally leads us closer to truth—no longer holds. As AI systems learn not only to gather information but also to spin stories, make decisions, and create entire networks of their own, our human assumptions about power, morality, and even reality itself face radical upheaval.

Harari's compelling narratives span witch hunts in medieval Europe, birth certificates that cost lives, AI-driven robots that lie to get what they want, and the hidden mechanisms behind social media "likes." Through vivid examples, Nexus shows how our world is becoming intertwined with non-biological networks that could push civilization toward either miraculous new achievements—or catastrophic outcomes.

Yet, there is hope. In these pages, Harari illuminates a path toward retaining our human essence, urging us to cultivate self-correcting institutions and embrace a more complex view of information. Provocative and deeply thought-provoking, Nexus challenges us to stay vigilant—and to safeguard the precious spark of life and consciousness we alone bring to the universe.
