Review: An essential read... probably - Generally I think I've been keeping up with AI developments. That is, until I hear about and test its next mind-bending ability. At which point I realise I was naive in thinking AI would never get this far. That's where this book comes in. Nexus is partly a history of technologies that convey human thought - from spoken word, stone tablets and books, through to computers, algorithms and AI. Harari has pinned down what was transformational about each technology, how it changed the landscape, and also how it was inevitably misused and exploited by humans. It's a lot of background, which I wasn't sure about at first, but by the end it definitely pays off because of the context provided. The book is very accessible and that does mean some repetition when bridging between stories. If you're new to the field, or are listening to the audiobook, or are dipping in and out, you'll probably appreciate that memory-jogging. It's a very thought-provoking read. I didn't know as much about its historical accounts as its modern ones, and Harari's style is clear and passionate without straying into emotional even if the subject matter is. The book is also thoroughly researched - I say that not only because of the numerous references, but because when Harari discusses topics I do know well (e.g. algorithms and 21st century), I pretty much always find myself in agreement with the text, which is rare for me. That reassurance meant I was able to get through it very quickly (especially the 2nd half). So why do I say "probably" in my review title? Well, if your job is future forecasting and you have some inside view of this tech that means you see it months or years in advance, then it is mainly the number of striking historical parallels that may enrich your view. But in fact I reckon this book's content is near-essential for much of the population, just like how we study and learn from major historical or scientific developments. We are all going to be affected by it more and more, unless you live totally off-grid forever. Is there a greater revolution in this time in history than the technological one(s)? This book says no. Today, you can certainly argue about AI's lack of personality and finesse, its influence in the political spheres and the controversy about the rights of artists and creators it has leveraged/exploited. (I always question now how much of the YouTube video I'm watching was conceived by a human or an AI, and how that affects trust.) But rightly or wrongly, the result is a staggering rate of development 24/7 which can almost be scary. And right now it's still in its infancy. In a nutshell, I'd say get a hold on this topic while it's still manageable. That's what I'm trying to do, and this book deepened my perspective hugely. Received in excellent condition. I wanted a paper copy for quicker reference, though I originally heard the audiobook instead. Review: Amazing book - Loved the book, very interesting and informative! Harrari is amazing writer that pulls your mind and expands your thoughts. I’ve learned a lot! ## Features - Binding: hardcover - Language: english - Manufacturer: Random House - Brand: Random house books for young readers - Publication date: 2024-09-10T00:00:01Z - Brand: Random House Books for Young Readers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,083 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Computer Science #3 in History of Civilization & Culture #3 in Anthropology | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,429 Reviews | ## Images ![Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l4l6o2drL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential read... probably *by T***R on 17 September 2024* Generally I think I've been keeping up with AI developments.
