The story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Sapiens.For the last 100,000 years, humans 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. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive?NEXUS considers how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.Taking us from the Stone Age through 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 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 of rediscovering our shared humanity.

But why didn't they get a better life in return? In The Pillars of Civilisation, Yuval Noah Harari and his companions including Prof. Saraswati and Dr. Fiction travel the length and breadth of human history to investigate how the Agricultural Revolution changed society forever. Discover how wheat took over the world, how war, famine, disease and inequality became a part of the human condition, and why we might only have ourselves to blame. The origins of modern farming are told through Elizabethan tragedy, the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News, and the history of inequality is revealed in a superhero detective story. A radical, witty and colourful retelling of the story of humankind, adapted from Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Volume 2 can be read as a standalone or as a follow-up to Volume 1, The Birth of Humankind.

From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon? It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? Well, we have the most amazing superpower: the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money (yes, really!). And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more. So get ready for the most amazing story there ever was - the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables. Find out how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad . . . and how YOU have the superpower to change the world. With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

His grandfather was the bloodthirsty Mongol leader Genghis Khan, his mother a Christian princess. Groomed from childhood for a position of authority, Khubilai snatched the position of Great Khan, becoming the overlord of a Mongol federation that stretched from the Balkans to the Korean coastline. His armies conquered the Asian kingdom of Dali and brought down the last defenders of imperial China. Khubilai Khan presided over a glorious Asian renaissance, attracting emissaries from all across the continent, and opening his civil service to 'men with coloured eyes' - administrators from the far west. His life and times encompassed the legends of Prester John, the pinnacle of the samurai (and, indeed, the Mongols), and the travels of Marco Polo.

Príbeh o tom, ako informačné siete budujú aj rúcajú náš svet.Za posledných 100 000 rokov sme my, druh Sapiens, nahromadili obrovskú moc. Ale napriek všetkým našim objavom, vynálezom a víťazstvám stojíme teraz na prahu existenčnej krízy. Svet je na pokraji ekologického kolapsu. Medzinárodné a politické napätie stúpa. A my sa bezhlavo rútime do éry AI – cudzej informačnej siete, ktorá nás môže zničiť. Popri tom všetkom, čo sme dosiahli, prečo sme takí sebadeštruktívni?Nexus sa pozerá na dlhú históriu ľudstva a uvažuje, ako sme sa tu v tom toku informácií ocitli. Yuval Noah Harari nás sprevádza od doby kamennej cez kánonizáciu Biblie, vynález tlače, vzostup masmédií a nedávne oživenie populizmu. Žiada nás, aby sme sa zamysleli nad zložitým vzťahom medzi informáciami a pravdou, byrokraciou a mytológiou, múdrosťou a mocou.Zamýšľa sa, ako pomocou informácií dosahovali svoje ciele systémy ako Rímska ríša, katolícka cirkev či Sovietsky zväz, či už v dobrom alebo zlom. Zaoberá sa naliehavými rozhodnutiami, pred ktorými stojíme, keď našu existenciu ohrozuje iná ako ľudská inteligencia.Informácie nie sú základnou surovinou pravdy, a nie sú ani obyčajnou zbraňou. Nexus skúma nádejnú zlatú strednú cestu medzi týmito extrémami a popri tom znovu objavuje našu ľudskosť.Príbehy nás spojili.Knihy šírili naše myšlienky – aj mytológie.Internet nám sľúbil nekonečné poznanie. Algoritmus spoznal naše tajomstvá – a potom nás poštval proti sebe.Čo s nami urobí umelá inteligencia?Nexus je napínavý príbeh o tom, ako sme dospeli k tomuto okamihu a o naliehavých rozhodnutiach, ktoré musíme urobiť teraz, aby sme prežili – a prosperovali.

A ptá se: Co přinese AI?Autor sleduje vývoj informačních sítí od doby kamenné, přes kanonizaci Bible, inkvizici, stalinismus, nacismus, až po dnešní populismus a vzestup umělé inteligence. Ukazuje, jak moc prostřednictvím informací ovlivňovala společnost a jak ji politické systémy využívaly k upevnění své vlády.Dnešní informační revoluce je však radikálně odlišná a nebezpečnější než všechny předchozí. Harari se zamýšlí nad tím, jaká existenciální rizika představuje umělá inteligence, která se rozhoduje bez odpovědnosti a může utvářet svět bez lidské kontroly.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Svobodný tok informací automaticky nevede k pravdě. Skon vytvářet mocné entity sahá až k vynálezu náboženství, ne AI. Algoritmy činí rozhodnutí, ale nenesou za ně následky. Nové digitální říše se mohou chovat stejně vykořisťovatelsky jako koloniální impéria. Demokracie mají díky sebeopravným mechanismům větší odolnost vůči hrozbám AI než diktatury. „Důležitá kniha, přicházející ve významném okamžiku lidských dějin.“ — SCIENCE

Bridges the gap between AI and neuroscience by telling the story of how the brain came to be.''I found this book amazing'' Daniel Kahneman, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and bestselling author of Thinking Fast & SlowThe entirety of the human brain’s 4-billion-year story can be summarised as the culmination of five evolutionary breakthroughs, starting from the very first brains, all the way to the modern human brains. Each breakthrough emerged from new sets of brain modifications, and equipped animals with a new suite of intellectual faculties.These five breakthroughs are the organising map to this book, and they make up our itinerary for our adventure back in time. Each breakthrough also has fascinating corollaries to breakthroughs in AI. Indeed, there will be plenty of such surprises along the way. For instance: the innovation that enabled AI to beat humans in the game of Go – temporal difference reinforcement learning – was an innovation discovered by our fish ancestors over 500 million years ago. The solutions to many of the current mysteries in AI – such as ‘common sense’ – can be found in the tiny brain of a mouse. Where do emotions come from? Research suggests that they may have arisen simply as a solution to navigation in ancient worm brains. Unravelling this evolutionary story will reveal the hidden features of human intelligence and with them, just how your mind came to be.

eBook: When Leopold Pospíšil first arrived in New Guinea in 1954 to investigate the legal systems of the local tribes, he was warned about the Kapauku who reputedly had no laws. Dubious that any society could exist without laws, Pospíšil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku. Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among the Kapauku, Pospíšil discovers that the supposedly primitive society possesses laws, rules, and social structures that are as sophisticated as they are logical. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and fled the Communist regime, Pospíšil has little patience for the notion that so-called advanced civilizations are superior to the ‘stone age’ society in which he now lives. On the basis of his research and experiences among the Kapauku – he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 – Pospíšil pioneered in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on the Kapauku law. As Jaroslav Jiřík and Martin Soukup write in their afterword, however, “His three previously published works are about the Kapauku; this one is about the anthropologist among the Kapauku.” The memoir is filled with charming anecdotes and thrilling stories of trials, travels, and war – told with humor and humility—and accompanied by a wealth of the author’s personal photos from the time.

‘The best account in a single volume of Spain since 1898, exemplary for concision and for accuracy in the use of language, as well as for equanimity and generosity of spirit’ Felipe Fernández-Armesto, TLSA revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first'Spain is different,' proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940s, keen to attract foreign tourists. For the most part, the world has agreed. From the end of its 'glorious empire' in 1898 to the dazzling World Cup victory in 2010, the prevailing narrative of modern Spain has emphasized the country's peculiarity.Generations of historians and readers have been transfixed by its implosion into civil war in the 1930s, seduced by the valiant struggle of the republicans, horrified by the barbarity of the dictatorship which followed. Franco's Spain was seen as an anomaly in the midst of prosperous and permissive post-war Western Europe. But, as Nigel Townson shows in this richly layered and exciting new history, beyond the familiar image, there lies a radically different history of Spain: of a dynamic and progressive society that fits firmly into the narrative of modern Europe.Drawing on over forty years of post-Franco scholarship, The Penguin History of Modern Spain transforms our knowledge of Spain and its politics, society, economics and culture. It interweaves cutting-edge Spanish-led research - never before published in English - and testimonies of peasants, housewives, soldiers, workers, entrepreneurs, feminists and worker-priests, for an original and surprising portrait, which allows us, at last, to discern the country behind the veil of propaganda and romantic myths which still endure today

We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don't know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn't inevitable and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. Drawing on the latest science and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead?
