Sapiens: The Pillars of Civilization. Vol. 2 (Graphic Novel)

How did wheat, bureaucrats, and ancient myths change the course of history?

In this second volume of the graphic adaptation of Sapiens, Harari explores the Agricultural Revolution — the biggest fraud in human history. As early humans transitioned from foraging to farming, they ended up working harder for less nutritious food. Societies grew, but so did inequality, war, and bureaucracy.

Told with humor and rich illustrations, the book unpacks how civilization was built — from the invention of writing and money to the creation of states and religions.

An accessible and entertaining visual history that makes you think about the very foundations of our modern world.
