Synopses

Nexus

Stories once brought people together, while books helped spread ideas and mythologies. The internet promised limitless knowledge, yet algorithms learned secrets and contributed to division. The book asks what AI will do next.

Homo Deus

Homo Deus looks at the projects, ambitions and fears that may shape the twenty-first century and beyond, from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It raises questions about protecting a fragile world from humanity’s destructive power, and what the future may hold.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Harari challenges assumptions about what it means to be human, asking what makes people brilliant, deadly and uniquely Sapiens. It notes that Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and that in a small fraction of that time one species has come to dominate it.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Presented as twenty-one concise lessons, this book considers what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment. It asks how people can respond to nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruption, as well as fake news, terrorism and what children should be taught.
