Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari - Book Summary Podcast

Have you ever wondered how humans have built such powerful networks of cooperation, yet seem predisposed to use that power unwisely? In his new book "Nexus", renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari argues that this problem is rooted in the very nature of information itself. This podcast explores the historical development of human information networks from the Stone Age to the age of AI. The podcast examines how information, as the glue that holds networks together, has shaped human history, and how the way these networks are built has often led to the misuse of power. It challenges the naive view that more information technology automatically leads to a more truthful understanding of the world, and explores the potential dangers of relying on AI algorithms to make wise decisions. Join us as we discuss the complex relationship between information, truth, and power, and learn how we can create wiser information networks in the age of AI.
