A witty, colorful, and thought-provoking illustrated journey through the revolutions that created modern society—and the technologies that may redefine humanity's future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth and final volume in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series—the illustrated adaptation of the internationally bestselling phenomenon—is a magnificent whistlestop tour through the scientific and industrial revolutions during which rapid scientific advancements transform the social order, usher in modern capitalism, and lead us to our own technological age and the dawn of artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil 1500 AD, Homo sapiens had reached a plateau of medical, military, and economic power, focusing their resources on preserving a social order that had existed for centuries. So, how did we go from medieval scrolls to ebooks; abacuses to computers? From the Santa Maria to nuclear subs; the earth to the moon? As Yuval Noah Harari shows, the key to jumpstarting the Scientific Revolution was one major discovery: ignorance. Ignorance—coupled with curiosity—drove the pursuit to acquire new knowledge. This pursuit kicked off an endless cycle spurred by science, politics, and capitalism—a feedback loop that has brought us to the brink of a new sort of intelligence poised to supersede humanity as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrafting onto Part 4 of the original Sapiens book, Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 4 examines how a shift toward scientific thinking has transformed human history. In the sixteenth century, science overtook religion and philosophy as the dominant way of understanding the world—fueling imperialism and colonialism, the Industrial Revolution, and the unraveling of old social and political structures. These revolutions resulted in scientific and technological inventions ad infinitum, each new discovery both a tool and a weapon. Taking us from the sixteenth century through today, Volume 4 also looks ahead, asking how breakthroughs like artificial intelligence might transform human consciousness and the future of our species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the three volumes before it, this final installment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an engaging, insightful, and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for curious minds of all ages. Once again, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen, and Daniel Casanave present the complicated story of humankind with wit, empathy, and originality. This final volume can be browsed through on its own or read in sequence with the previous books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Graphic+History\"\u003e圖像歷史 Graphic History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Graphic+Nonfiction\"\u003e圖像非虛構 Graphic Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=World+History\"\u003e世界歷史 World History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=History+of+Science\"\u003e科學史 History of Science\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Scientific+Revolution\"\u003e科學革命 Scientific Revolution\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Industrial+Revolution\"\u003e工業革命 Industrial Revolution\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Artificial+Intelligence\"\u003e人工智能 Artificial Intelligence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Human+History\"\u003e人類歷史 Human History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=History+of+Technology\"\u003e科技史 History of Technology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Popular+Science\"\u003e科普 Popular Science\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yuval Noah Harari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68137194979634,"sku":"9780063510517","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4772\/5106\/files\/9780063510517.jpg?v=1793595474","url":"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/products\/sapiens-a-graphic-history-volume-4-by-yuval-noah-harari","provider":"Starry Ferry Books 星渡書店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
