Historia
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.

READ THIS BOOK...TWICE
Revisado: 09-12-24
The most important book of our times. Read it twice not because it's a difficult text--it isn't--but because every word, every idea deserves to be understood and remembered.

Insightful Analysis
Revisado: 04-11-24
I felt the book a good overview of MLMs, although I was left with a few questions. For example, did any of the foot soldiers in Tupperware ever make any money? Mary Kaye? Avon? Or is one MLM as bad as the next? Also, I think some MLMs have been banned in Europe, and it would have been interesting to hear more about that.
As to the question, why do people join and then stay in MLMs long after there is any real chance to make any money, the author provides trenchant, razor sharp analysis.

Historia
Regarded as one of the brightest young scientists of his generation, Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world as well as a thought experiment about the very idea of scientific knowledge itself.

This Is an AMAZING book
Revisado: 10-04-23
I highly, highly recommend this book. It has a conceit, which is that you are basically asked to imagine that the world has all but ended, at least as we know it, and that you are one of the few survivors. How are you and your significantly-reduced-in-number fellow humans going to bring the world up to the level of civilization the world was at before the imagined catastrophe?
The author, in precise, finished prose that is never overweening, nor offputtingly jocular (but also never dull) takes the listener on a journey toward the things that would need to be done to re-establish civilization by retracing the steps of our forbears--the ones, in particular, which progressively lead to greater and greater degrees of technological progress.
Along the way, you'll learn so many fascinating things about farming, weaving, metallurgy, chemistry, anatomy, and tons more.
I hasten to add that the narration was also superb.

Good story. Narrator's voice isn't too annoying. Well researched. Timely story that holds your attention.

The only problem is that there aren't more of these interviews to listen to. I mean, over the years, there must be thousands of interviews in the pages of Playboy...why do we only get a paltry handful?
