This segment critiques Yuval Noah Harari's Nexus, specifically Chapter 1, "What is Information?". The author finds Harari's avoidance of a precise definition of "information" problematic, arguing that this lack of clarity undermines the book's central theme. The critique highlights Harari's use of the map-and-terrain analogy and his apparent adherence to Modernist epistemology despite acknowledging the relativity of perspectives. The author suggests Harari's ambiguous approach might be a rhetorical strategy, but questions its intellectual integrity. Ultimately, the post raises concerns about the book's foundational coherence and Harari's commitment to answering the title's question.
