The Book - The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding a Civilization
Carl Sagan famously once said that “we live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.” So while the subtitle of this book calls itself a guide to rebuilding civilisation post-apocalypse, ‘The Book’ is actually an inspirational journey through pivotal moments of technological innovation throughout history. However, the illustrations are where this book truly shines. Think medieval art style with a steampunk aesthetic, and a very generous sprinkle of sly humour. Look closely, and you’ll spot all sorts of references to mythology and literature hidden within the artworks.
