Reviews for Nexus
THE TIMES
[Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites
TELEGRAPH
A superb narrative writer
GUARDIAN
[A] thoughtful book . . . An important perspective at a time when the info-wars seem likely to only get worse
Gillian Tett
FINANCIAL TIMES
[Harari] makes fun of people like myself who saw more information as always a good thing . . . I would basically say he’s right and I was wrong
BILL GATES Engrossing . . . A diagnosis and a call to action . . . If [Nexus] sells anywhere near as well as Sapiens did, we’ll be that bit better equipped as a species to deal with the rise of the machines
OBSERVER
A useful, well-informed primer . . . Wise and bold
NEW YORK TIMES
A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly . . . Harari's narrative is engaging, and his framing is strikingly original
ECONOMIST
One of our foremost big-picture thinkers about the grand sweep of humanity, history and the future
TIME
Tremendous, thought-provoking and so very well reasoned. Harari gives us a vision of a rapidly approaching future that is at one and the same time thrilling and chilling. If there is one book that I would urge everyone to read – our political, corporate and cultural leaders most especially – it is Nexus
