APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari here turns his attentions to the evolution of how we have received information—and where AI is likely to take us in the future. Harari begins with the stories that earliest man would tell each other to share experiences and emotions, before covering the books that helped disseminate ideas far and wide, then venturing into the internet age. As we stand on the precipice of a new information age, Harari considers the lessons we should have learned and the questions we must ask to ensure society can evolve and develop. It’s a thought-provoking call to action that’s also relatable and clearly explained, making it an essential read.
