<a href="/author/harariyuvalnoah">Yuval Noah Harari</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_771889b9" >This book took me longer to read because I kept rereading certain parts. This is not because the book is difficult, quite the opposite, but because I wanted to understand the author’s ideas, or let it sink into my head.<br><br>Mr. Harari’s ability to explain complex ideas in simple terms is one to be envied. I can do so, and very well, but only with technology, but my skills are minimized compared to his.<br><br>Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari is actually two books in one. The first is a <u class="showmore_hide">history of how information was passed before we were all connected, from Assyrian clay tablets, to books, to TV. This part hammered in the power of stories and the way they get people to work together towards a common goal. Mr. Harari talks about how governments handle information and its role in democracies and dictatorships. In Harari’s world, democracies are transparent with vast flow of information, while dictatorships are oblique and information gets centralized into one place. Of course, these days information is cheap and centralizing it and controlling it by a dictator is an impossible task.<br><br>The second part, the meat of the book, is basically a brief about AI, risks, misinformation, disinformation, and policies that can or should be implemented. Both parts were extremely fascinating, but this one was excellent. The author warns us of a “Silicon Curtain” which will descend between us and the algorithms which will run our lives. The danger of algorithms making financial decisions is already here.<br><br>Many parts of this book are worth rereading and internalizing. The bottom line is something I can agree with: AI cannot be left to startups and billionaires, but must be regulated.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#"

what has been, and spanning millennia in the history of the species that has named itself Homo sapiens. From the dawn of human culture in the Cognitive Revolution and the gathering together of families and bands into villages and towns, and the development of the race’s sensibilities toward its surroundings, and the development of religious and political <u class="showmore_hide">thought, we race through the centuries and into the Agricultural Revolution and the “taming” of nature… the plants and animals that now work for us in versions and forms unknown to their evolutionary predecessors.<br>* The presentation of the development of monetary principles, and of capitalistic and imperial views, and the dawn of the Scientific Revolution brings us closer and closer to the present age, rarely slowing down as we are taken leaping from one concept to another, linking points of view from one period of history to others, and leaving one reeling with the recognition or denial that what one thinks one knows is accurate or is lacking of verisimilitude.<br>* Harari develops the narrative with an engrossing view toward a complete package, and leaves (at least me) wanting to find out more about the events and periods of time he has weaved into this history.<br>* Quote: “Seventy thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was still an insignificant animal minding its own business in a corner of Africa. …Today it stands on the verge of becoming a god, poised to acquire not only eternal youth, but also the divine abilities of creation and destruction. …We are consequently wreaking havoc on our fellow animals and on the surrounding ecosystem, seeking little more than our own comfort and amusement, yet never finding satisfaction.<br> Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don’t know what they want?”</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_e05daa06');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_c468388c" title="5 Stars" aria-title="5 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="10" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="8" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="9" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_275560044" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275560044"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_275560044" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_275560044" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_275560044" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_275560044"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Craig_Evans" target="_top">Craig_Evans</a> | <a href="/work/14300164/reviews" data-workid="14300164" data-title="Sapiens-A-Brief-History-of-Humankind" class="" >392 other reviews</a> | Nov 20, 2024 | <a href="/review/275560044"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275500548" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/14300164" data-workid="14300164" data-title="Sapiens-A-Brief-History-of-Humankind" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0062316117.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0062316117.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0062316117.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/14300164" data-workid="14300164" data-title="Sapiens-A-Brief-History-of-Humankind" class="" >Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind</a> by <a href="/author/harariyuvalnoah">Yuval Noah Harari</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_e13629f4" >Мислите си, че днес човекът замърсява природата, изсича горите и изтребва животните, а преди е живял в хармония с тях като във филма Аватар?

Sapiens) са кажи-речи най-голямата екологична катастрофа в историята на планетата <u class="showmore_hide">ни, собственоръчно изтребили практически всеки по-едър бозайник и изгорили милиони кв.км. хилядолетни гори по време на развитието си от полу-маймуни до земеделци - а след изобретяване на земеделието се захващат с още по-голяма страст със същото. <br> <br>В Нова Зеландия преди само 800 г. е имало гигантски торбести животни, гигантски орел и нелетяща птица. Стотина години след стъпването на маорите там, те изчезват - това се повтаря практически на всеки остров и континент, дето племената ни се разпространяват.<br><br>Интересно е и мнението на автора относно земеделието, което според него не е възприето защото е било по-добро от лова и събирачеството, а по-скоро защото хората са си мислели, че е по-добро, докато всъщност е довело до доста по-нисък стандарт на живот и здраве (последното е неоспоримо така, съдейки по костите).<br><br>Книгата описва историята на човешкия вид от малко по-особена гледна точка, която си заслужава да се прочете, ако и да е доста пълна главно с мнението и размислите на автора.
