Sapiens. Una historia gráfica, 4

Five hundred years ago, humanity made an astonishing discovery: it became aware of its own collective ignorance. Determined to finally unravel the secrets of the universe, modern humans learned to control the world and produce more. But has modernity made us happier? *Sapiens (A Graphic History): The Age of Revolutions* takes us on a thrilling journey spanning from the Scientific Revolution and the Industrial Revolution to the dawn of the artificial intelligence revolution. Along the way, we discover why the Roman army invested so little in R&D, how banks create money out of thin air, how clocks came to rule our lives, and why—despite enjoying unprecedented abundance—humans remain so dissatisfied. Join Superzeus, Computer, and Death on the psychiatrist’s couch as they grapple with humanity’s quest for omniscience and immortality. Follow the passionate romance between Lady Empire and Scientist, united in their drive to conquer every blank space on the map. And join Detective López as she unravels a global conspiracy to break the laws of biology. In this exciting conclusion to the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s bestseller, humanity faces its greatest challenge: figuring out how to control an alien intelligence. Will we succeed? Or will we end up trapped in the dreams of intelligent machines? Brimming with wit, insight, and dazzling visual inventiveness, this final volume in the series reveals how humans became the irresponsible gods of planet Earth—and considers how we might make wiser, more compassionate choices for the future.
