The book traces paper's evolution from its invention in ancient China to becoming a global commodity, highlighting how its affordability democratized knowledge and facilitated bureaucratic efficiency.
It also uncovers the environmental costs associated with paper production, a topic that is increasingly relevant in our modern world.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with early writing surfaces and the initial adoption of paper in China.
It follows the Silk Road transmission to the Middle East, its arrival in Europe, and the impact of innovations like the printing press.
Later chapters address the effects of industrial-scale paper production on literacy and the environment, culminating in a discussion of paper's evolving role in the digital age.
