A review by nadia
Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2: The Pillars of Civilization by Daniel Casanave, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen

adventurous informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

Not as strong as the first volume, and it felt more like a thesis/opinion/persuasion-piece than a history. I felt the "simplification" of everything more, and this one felt like the authors dwelled on a few points for a bit too long, but it does illustrate certain things – beginnings of slavery and the compounding impact today, the power of fictional ideas in shaping culture — creatively and effectively!
