Yuval Noah Harari looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. 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 throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we need to make in the face of non-human intelligence.
