Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. 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. Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.","aux_descriptions":"[]","is_offer":0,"stock":3,"multiple":"1.000","unit_type_id":1,"unit_type_name":"unidades","unit_type":"unidades","limited_by_stock":1,"sizeChartFileURL":"","files":[{"height":1000,"width":661,"file_type_id":1,"url":"https:\/\/cfluna.com\/escaramuza.com.uy\/cdn\/files\/tmp\/compressed\/normal\/g8e7gc7nzlx2s1ygqki8.jpg","thumbnail_url":"\/cdn\/files\/tmp\/compressed\/thumbs\/g8e7gc7nzlx2s1ygqki8.jpg"}],"price_before_discounts":850000,"needs_budget":0,"price":"722,50","old_price":"850","preorderBadge":0,"preorder_stock":0,"preorder_stock_text":"","currency_symbol":"UYU","specIds":[],"limited_for_user":0,"limited_for_user_quantity":0,"discounts":[{"id":61}],"discountFinalPrices":{"61":722.5,"64":637.5,"65":680},"bank_discounts":[{"id":64,"name":"Itaú 25% Personal Bank"},{"id":65,"name":"Itaú 20% Platinum"}],"relatedSpecialSearches":[],"customizableFields":[],"lunaEvents":[],"ticket_event_id":0,"is_online_gift_card":0},{"id":286130,"sku":null,"title":"NEXUS","description":"The phenomenal international and Sunday Times bestseller from the author of Sapiens Stories brought us together Books spread our ideas and our mythologies The internet promised infinite knowledge The algorithm learned our secrets and then turned us against each other What will AI do Nexus is the thrilling account of how we arrived at this moment and the urgent choices we must now make to survive and to thrive PRAISE FOR NEXUS One of the most remarkable intellects of our generation RORY STEWART Tremendous thought provoking and so very well reasoned If there is one book that I would urge everyone to read it is Nexus STEPHEN FRY A wake up call in the gentlest most urgent way YOTAM OTTOLENGHI This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI MUSTAFA SULEYMAN A super narrative writer GUARDIAN Harari sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites TELEGRAPH PRAISE FOR YUVAL NOAH HARARI The great thinker of our age THE TIMES Interesting and provocative BARACK OBAMA One of my favourite writers and thinkers NATALIE PORTMAN","aux_descriptions":"[]","is_offer":0,"stock":1,"multiple":"1.000","unit_type_id":1,"unit_type_name":"unidades","unit_type":"unidades","limited_by_stock":1,"sizeChartFileURL":"","files":[{"height":1000,"width":653,"file_type_id":1,"url":"https:\/\/cfluna.com\/escaramuza.com.uy\/cdn\/files\/tmp\/compressed\/normal\/2w5rjmil8dau36rtqqwe.jpg","thumbnail_url":"\/cdn\/files\/tmp\/compressed\/thumbs\/2w5rjmil8dau36rtqqwe.jpg"}],"price_before_discounts":1090000,"needs_budget":0,"price":"926,50","old_price":"1.090","preorderBadge":0,"preorder_stock":0,"preorder_stock_text":"","currency_symbol":"UYU","specIds":[],"limited_for_user":null,"limited_for_user_quantity":null,"discounts":[{"id":61}],"discountFinalPrices":{"61":926.5,"64":817.5,"65":872},"bank_discounts":[{"id":64,"name":"Itaú 25% Personal Bank"},{"id":65,"name":"Itaú 20% Platinum"}],"relatedSpecialSearches":[],"customizableFields":[],"lunaEvents":[],"ticket_event_id":0,"is_online_gift_card":null}]
