Description
Paper: An Elegy explores the significance of paper in our civilization. From its creation to its various uses, paper has played a crucial role in shaping our world. However, with the rise of e-books and digitalization, the age of paper is coming to an end. Ian Sansom examines the paradoxes of paper, including its vulnerability and durability, and reflects on its meaning in a world beyond paper. This book offers a timely meditation on the importance of paper and its enduring presence in our lives. By curating a history of paper, Sansom provides a thought-provoking study that is both a cultural analysis and a personal reflection.
