核心要点
The Dawn of a New Information Age
Imagine waking up tomorrow to discover that AI has joined humanity's oldest and most powerful network - the information web that connects us all. This isn't science fiction; it's happening now. In "Nexus," Yuval Noah Harari reveals a profound insight: information's primary purpose isn't to represent reality but to connect us. Throughout our 70,000-year journey from prehistoric tribes to global civilization, humans have created increasingly sophisticated information networks. Now, for the first time, non-human entities are becoming active participants rather than passive tools in these networks. This shift could redefine what it means to be human. The paradox at the heart of our existence becomes clear: despite calling ourselves Homo sapiens ("wise humans") and accumulating unprecedented knowledge, we face existential threats of our own making. Climate change, dangerous AI, and international tensions aren't accidents - they're products of our information systems. The conventional view that more information naturally leads to truth and wisdom falls apart when we examine our history. While information has dramatically improved some aspects of life - like reducing child mortality from 50% to 0.5% in Germany - it hasn't prevented us from creating civilization-threatening crises.
