A review by kamdoitattitude
Paper: Paging Through History by Mark Kurlansky

funny informative inspiring relaxing medium-paced

5.0

This book has everything. Drama. Intrigue. Handmade rag paper. Paper made from papyrus. Paper made from seaweed. Paper made from trees. Paper mills. And an incredible reframing of technology, what it is, and what it really means. 

Technology doesn't change societies. Technology meets societies where they are.

Update from November 2024: Still good. Still love paper. Still love catching different parts of the story.
