Synopsis
Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 3: The Masters of History carries the full-colour graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens into the question of who, or what, is really steering the human story.
The volume travels across time and continents to look at the forces that have both connected people and set them against each other. Its answer is not monarchs, presidents or dictators. It is money, religion and empire, the three great unifiers that have shaped the world far more thoroughly than any individual ruler.
As in the earlier volumes, the argument arrives in disguise. A superpowers game show hosted by Heroda Tush pits contenders like Ms Chaos, Mr Random and Clashwoman against one another to settle which of them decides whether a civilisation rises or falls.
Written by Harari with David Vandermeulen and illustrated by Daniel Casanave, it can be read on its own or in sequence after Volume 2.
