Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.\u003cbr\u003eInformation is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNexus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e528 pages, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6.47 x 1.55 x 9.64 inches, \u003c\/span\u003ehardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46081764917473,"sku":"9780593734223","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9558\/8015\/files\/Screenshot2025-01-18at11.17.03AM.png?v=1737217032","url":"https:\/\/pressshopatl.shop\/products\/nexus-yuval-noah-harari","provider":"Pressshopatl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
