商品描述

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.
"Strikingly 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 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our 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.

#1 《紐約時報》暢銷書 - 來自《人類大歷史》作者的開創性故事，講述資訊網絡如何塑造和摧毀我們的世界。
「驚人地原創……一位在千年尺度上運作的歷史學家，完美捕捉了時代精神。」--《經濟學人》
「這本深具重要性的書籍在我們思考人工智慧和自動化內容生產的影響時，正好來得及時……精湛且具挑戰性。」--穆斯塔法·蘇萊曼，《即將來臨的浪潮》作者

在過去的十萬年裡，我們人類積累了巨大的力量。但儘管我們有如此多的發現、發明和征服，我們現在卻面臨著生存危機。世界正處於生態崩潰的邊緣。錯誤資訊氾濫。我們正急速邁向人工智慧的時代——一個威脅要消滅我們的新資訊網絡。儘管我們取得了如此多的成就，為什麼我們卻如此自我毀滅？

《連結》透過人類歷史的長鏡頭，考察資訊的流動如何塑造了我們和我們的世界。從石器時代開始，經過聖經的正典化、早期現代的獵巫運動、斯大林主義、納粹主義，以及當今民粹主義的復甦，尤瓦爾·赫拉利邀請我們思考資訊與真相、官僚體系與神話、智慧與權力之間的複雜關係。他探討了歷史上不同社會和政治體系如何利用資訊來實現其目標，無論是善是惡。他也面對著我們所面臨的緊迫選擇，因為非人類智慧威脅著我們的生存。

資訊不是真相的原材料；它也不僅僅是一種武器。《連結》探索了這些極端之間的希望中間地帶，並在此過程中重新發現了我們共同的人性。
