Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made and unmade our world. "Striking original . . . A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly."—The Economist "This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production. . . . Masterful and provocative."—Mustafa Suleyman author of The Coming Wave For the last 100000 years we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite allour discoveries inventions and conquests we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished why are we so self-destructive 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. Random House hardcover

ref. 453959University of Nebraska Press. Hardcover. Good. Sports fandom-often more than religious political or regional affiliation-determines how millions of Americans define themselves. In We Average Unbeautiful Watchers Noah Cohan examines contemporary sports culture to show how mass-mediated athletics are in fact richly textured narrative entertainments rather than merely competitive displays. While it may seem that sports narratives are written by athletes and journalists Cohan demonstrates that fans are not passive consumers but rather function as readers and writers who appropriate those narratives and generate their own stories in building their sense of identity.
