Over the past 100,000 years, we, intelligent humans, have accumulated immense power. Yet, despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world stands on the brink of ecological collapse. We are boiling in a stream of misinformation. And we are rushing headlong into the AI era — a new information network that threatens us with destruction. So why, despite all our achievements, do we so eagerly seek self-destruction?
In his new book, Yuval Noah Harari offers a perspective through the lens of human history to understand how the flow of information has shaped us and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, witch hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, to today’s resurgence of populism, the author invites us to examine the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history have used information to achieve their goals and highlights the urgent decisions we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.
