Sapiens: A Graphic History. Volume 4. The Age of Revolutions

THE FOURTH VOLUME OF THE EPIC AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED ADAPTATION OF THE WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER SAPIENS.

The fourth and final volume of the adaptation of SAPIENS traces the revolutions that have shaped our modern world and asks the ultimate question: what will become of us?

Five hundred years ago, humanity made an astonishing discovery: it discovered its own ignorance. Determined at last to unravel the mysteries of the Universe, humans learned to control the world and produce more of everything. But has it actually made us any happier?

The Age of Revolution takes us on a captivating journey from the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions to the dawn of Artificial Intelligence. Along the way, we will learn why the Roman army never invested in research and development, how banks create money out of thin air, in what ways clocks govern our daily lives, and why, despite our abundance, we remain deeply unsatisfied.

Join Skyman, M.H. Computer, and Death lying on the psychiatrist's couch! Take part in the quest for omniscience and omnipotence! Follow the passionate affair of Lady Empire and Scientific as they conquer the blank spaces on the map together! Join Detective Lopez as she unravels the global conspiracy to violate the laws of biology!

In this thrilling conclusion to the graphic novel based on Yuval Noah Harari's bestseller, humanity faces its most serious challenge yet: finding a way to control alien intelligence. Will we succeed, or will we end up trapped in the dreams of intelligent machines?

With wit, insight, and innovative visual techniques, the final volume of the series shows us how humans became the irresponsible gods of planet Earth—and how we might make wiser, more compassionate choices in the future.
