Nexus: The Telegraph to the Internet
From the telegraph to the internet, communication has evolved at lightning speed. In this episode, we trace the history of global information networks, from the telegraph shrinking the world to the internet connecting billions. How did these technologies change global diplomacy, trade, and culture? And how do they shape your daily life? Tune in to discover how today’s digital world was built on these early innovations.
A podcast series inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’s books presents a thrilling chance to explore the thought-provoking topics he discusses. This six-episode series will focus on Harari’s first three major works: "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow," and "21 Lessons for the 21st Century," as well as his latest book, "Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI." Each episode will delve into key concepts, offer insightful analysis, and discuss how these ideas are relevant to our world today.
Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter, but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
