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.

The disinformation this book represents
Revisado: 11-12-24
While presenting information detailing disinformation and untruths in communications, the author does this himself, This author’s book leans far left and these days those ideas are not popular or worth listening to.

Outstanding!

I have been listening to books on audible for about eight years so about 100 books. Most have been very good. A few were lame. But this book surpasses them all in amazement of subject narrative, livid detail, and great performance by the reader. Excellent book. Best I have listened to.

Revisado: 11-17-21
Good story if you like he F this F that every other sentence. Not sure why such vulgarity has to appear in such abundance.

Best Lecturer in the Great Courses
Revisado: 08-21-14
What made the experience of listening to Doctors: The History of Scientific Medicine Revealed Through Biography the most enjoyable?
The way this fellow presents his material is masterful. His voice adds interest--it is as if he is just talking to you instead of lecturing. I have listened to this three times and enjoy it more each time. I have listened to about 10 different Great Courses and they are all pretty good but this fellow is the best I have heard.
