Life as We Know It

A poetic graphic novel that tells the creation story of Planet Earth.We think this much is true... Once upon a time, before time even existed, all matter in the universe was concentrated on a single point a fraction of the size of an atom. And then? And then it exploded. This sumptuous and poetic graphic novel tells the remarkable tale of life from its first iteration as a single cell through the planet's various phases of evolution and extinction to the uncertain place we find ourselves in today. Factual in its content, but lyrical in its expression, Life As We Know It captures the unlikely magic and strange beauty at the heart of life on Earth. We tell our children stories of apples and snakes, of gods and monsters. But the creation story told by science is more perplexing and incredible than any we could ever make up.
