This book considers how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking the reader from the Stone Age through the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari considers the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. Harari explores how different societies and political systems 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. Author: Yuval Noah Harari
