In this episode, I delve into Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the ‎Stone Age to AI by Yuval Noah Harari. The book examines the intricate relationship ‎between information, power, and technology, revealing how these dynamics have ‎shaped human history and will continue to influence our future. Harari explores ‎how societies and political systems have leveraged information to achieve their goals ‎and how major information revolutions have sparked periods of remarkable human ‎flourishing. I also share my critique of his work, offering a balanced perspective on ‎its insights and limitations.‎
