Recommended for Businesspeople and Students: A Must-Read for the AI Age, Harari's Acclaimed "NEXUS: A Brief History of Information" Now in a Special Box Set!

Kawade Shobo Shinsha Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo / President: Yu Onodera) will release a special priced set in a beautiful case (list price 3,960 yen including tax) of the book "NEXUS: A Brief History of Information (Vol. 1: The Human Network / Vol. 2: The AI Revolution)" (translated by Hiroyuki Shibata) by historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari on March 27, 2026.

"NEXUS: A Brief History of Information" is the first major new work in six years from Yuval Noah Harari, author of the global bestseller "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind."

The book expands on the discussions in "Sapiens," addressing current issues such as misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media, the rise of authoritarianism through media regulation and suppression, global division, and the relentless evolution of generative AI. It garnered significant attention even before its publication in the spring of 2025.

One year after its publication, a limited-edition, two-volume set in a beautiful case will be released.

The regular price for the two volumes is 4,000 yen (excluding tax), but it will be sold at a special 10% off price of 3,600 yen (excluding tax). The vast historical knowledge and ideas presented in this book offer valuable insights for living in the AI age. It is considered a must-read for 2026.

The book dominated the 2025 humanities rankings at university co-ops nationwide, with the first volume ranking #1 and the second volume #2 (according to the National Federation of University Co-operative Associations). Total circulation in Japan has surpassed 200,000 copies.

As an educational book for businesspeople and a must-read for students, it's a great choice for the new season. The limited-edition beautiful case designed by OCTAVE is also recommended as a gift.

Since its publication last year, the book has received continuous coverage from TV, newspapers, and web media. Harari attended an event at the University of Tokyo on March 17 of last year, and his lectures and media appearances during his visit to Japan became a hot topic. ©Renji Tachibana
