| book description |
The fourth and final volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s global phenomenon Sapiens, illustrating how rapid advances transform society, reshape capitalism and propel us into the technological age. Five hundred years ago, humankind made a startling discovery: our own collective ignorance. Determined to finally uncover the secrets of the universe, modern humans have learned how to control the world and how to produce more of everything. But did modernity make us any happier? Sapiens: A Graphic History – The Age of Revolutions takes us on a riveting ride from the Scientific Revolution through the Industrial Revolution to the dawn of the AI Revolution. Along the way, we find out why the Roman Empire had the best army but no technological edge, how banks create money out of thin air, how clocks came to rule our lives, and why humans remain dissatisfied despite unprecedented abundance. Join Skyman, Mx Computer and Death on the psychiatrist’s couch as they deal with humanity’s quest for omniscience and immortality. Follow the passionate affair between Lady Empire and Scientifik, as together they seek to conquer all the blank spaces on the map. And jump on board with Detective Lopez as she unravels a worldwide conspiracy to break the laws of biology. In this thrilling conclusion to the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s bestselling Sapiens, humanity faces its most pressing challenge ever: figuring out how to control an alien intelligence. Will we succeed? Or will we become trapped inside the dreams of smart machines? Brimming with wit, insight and inventive visuals, this final volume in the series reveals how humans became the irresponsible gods of Planet Earth, and how we can make wiser and more compassionate choices in future.
