“The Art of War Visualized,” with author Jessica Hagy
Join the cartoonist for a discussion of “The Art of War Visualized,” her illustrated adaptation of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War.” Hagy aims to “shake 2,500 years of dust” off of this revered text by summarizing its theories into 300 easy-to-understand charts and diagrams to show that the philosopher’s ideas are relevant to “every hassle you’ve had in your life.”
