Paper: Paging Through History

Paper is one of the simplest and most essential pieces of human technology.

For the past two millennia, it has formed the foundation of civilizations, promoting revolutions and restoring stability. Now, amid discussion of “going paperless” — and as speculation about the effects of a digitally dependent society grows rampant — we’ve come to a world-historic juncture. Mark Kurlansky, the bestselling author of Cod and Salt, traces paper’s evolution from antiquity to the present.
