The story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Sapiens. For the last 100,000 years, humans have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI – a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive? NEXUS considers how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age through the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah 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 have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non- human intelligence threatens our very existence. Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. NEXUS explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and of rediscovering our shared humanity.

orten Storm was an unlikely Jihadi. A six-foot-one red-haired Dane, Storm spent his teens in and out of trouble. A book about the Prophet Mohammed prompted his conversion to Islam, and Storm sought purpose in a community of believers. He attended a militant madrasah in Yemen, named his son Osama, and became close friends with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born terrorist cleric. But after a decade of Jihadi life, he not only repudiated extremism but, in a quest for atonement, became a double agent for the CIA and British and Danish intelligence. Agent Storm takes readers inside the jihadist world like never before, showing the daily life of zealous men set on mass murder, from dodging drones with al-Qaeda leaders in the Arabian desert to training in extremist gyms in Britain and performing supply drops in Kenya. The book also provides a tantalizing look at his dangerous life undercover, as Storm traveled the world for missions targeting its most dangerous terrorists , and into the world’s most powerful spy agencies: their tradecraft, rivalries, and late-night carousing, as well as their ruthless use of a beautiful blonde in an ambitious honey trap. Agent Storm is a captivating, utterly unique, real-life espionage tale.

S iznimnom narativnom snagom Coleen McCullough, jedna od najčitanijih književnica današnjice, uvlači čitatelja u vrtlog viteštva, strasti i raskoši, koji se zove stari Rim. U toj prijestolnici čitavog poznatog svijeta, sudbinske i obiteljske veze spajaju trojicu naizgled potpuno različitih muškaraca: Gaja Julija – iz drevne patricijske obitelji Cezara, Gaja Marija – vojnoga genija sputanog u političkoj karijeri vlastitim skromnim porijeklom te Lucija Kornelija – ambicioznog i častohlepnog patricija iz osiromašene obitelji Sula. U tom uzavrelom ljudskom mravinjaku, nitko još ne sluti kolika će se moć uskoro naći u njihovim rukama... Roman Put Časti prvi je dio trilogije „Prvi čovjek Rima“ koja se temelji na antičkim izvorima kao i na radovima suvremenih historiografa poput Pauly-Wissowa, Broughton, Syme, Mommsen, Munzer, Scullar i drugih.

La police, en pleine guerre inter-services, se retrouve face à un mystère, puisque les blessures à l’origine des hémorragies fatales semblent avoir été provoquées de l’intérieur. La belle Kaja Solness, de la brigade criminelle, est envoyée à Hong Kong pour retrouver le seul spécialiste norvégien en matière de tueurs en série. Le policier alcoolique s’est caché dans une ville d’un million d’habitants pour fuir les démons assoiffés de sang d’anciennes affaires, les souvenirs amers de la femme qu’il aime ainsi que les membres des triades à qui il doit de l’argent. Ce flic s’appelle Harry Hole… Pour la huitième affaire de son enquêteur fétiche, Harry Hole le détective au grand cœur et à la gueule cassée, Jo Nesbo nous livre son roman le plus complexe et le plus maîtrisé. Le léopard est une traque sans pitié qui laisse le lecteur pantelant. Nous promenant des pics enneigés de la Norvège aux volcans sulfureux du Congo, rien ne nous est épargné : avalanches mortelles, volcan en éruption, tueur en série à faire frémir, guerre des polices et manipulations en tout genre, sans oublier une histoire d’amour en arrière-plan pour offrir des moments de respiration au cœur de cette tornade d’action aux reflets d’hémoglobine. Nesbo mène son récit tambour battant, comme au volant d’un bolide lancé à tombeau ouvert jusqu’à la dernière page. Un thriller magistral.
