[Harari] sticks the world together in a gleaming shape that inspires and excites * TELEGRAPH * A super narrative writer * GUARDIAN * Engrossing . . . A diagnosis and a call to action . . . If [Nexus] sells anywhere near as well as Sapiens did, we’ll be that bit better equipped as a species to deal with the rise of the machines * OBSERVER * Harari's narrative is engaging, and his framing is strikingly original * ECONOMIST * Tremendous, thought-provoking and so very well reasoned. Harari gives us a vision of a rapidly approaching future that is at one and the same time thrilling and chilling. If there is one book that I would urge everyone to read – our political, corporate and cultural leaders most especially – it is Nexus -- STEPHEN FRY
