About this audiobook

The mind-blowing story of how information networks – from the stone age to AI - have shaped our world from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Sapiens

Stories brought us together.

Books spread our ideas – and our mythologies.

The internet promised infinite knowledge.

What will AI do?

Nexus is the thrilling account of how we arrived at this moment, and the urgent choices we must now make to survive – and to thrive.

‘If you read only one non-fiction book this year, consider this one’ TOM HANKS

‘If there’s one book that I would urge everyone to read – it is Nexus’ STEPHEN FRY

'A super narrative writer' GUARDIAN
