Our take
AI-draftedHarari extends the big-idea, sweep-of-history approach of Sapiens to information itself, arguing that networks — from oral myth to scripture to algorithms — have always mattered more for their ability to organize people than for how true the information running through them is. The AI chapters are where the book generates most of its attention, since Harari treats current AI development as continuous with older information revolutions rather than a total break from them, a framing some reviewers found clarifying and others found too tidy.
In the press
“A useful, well-informed primer... wise and bold.”
