10-Minute Summary NEXUS: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to Artificial Intelligence - To what extent does information define the destiny of humanity?

Yuval Noah Harari

Sinopsis

Yuval Noah Harari poses a fundamental question: To what extent does information define the destiny of humanity? Since the dawn of civilization, information has been key to survival, social organization, and technological development. However, in the digital age, this question has taken on new significance: artificial intelligence has reached the capacity to process information autonomously and, in some cases, without human supervision.  
Harari draws an analogy with ancient myths that warned about the dangers of invoking uncontrollable powers. Just as Prometheus brought fire to humanity with unpredictable consequences, AI is seen as a powerful tool that could radically transform our way of life. Its influence on politics, the economy, and daily life is so profound that it could reshape the very foundations of civilization.
