“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.”
The Economist

Guardian

“A useful, well-informed primer . . . wise and bold.”
—The New York Times

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

“Yuval Harari has a unique ability to unite both history’s finest details and its grandest megatrends in a single view. In this masterful and provocative new book, he makes a compelling case that information networks are—and always have been—the primary driving force shaping human societies. This deeply important argument comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production.”
—Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI

“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 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
