- Résumé
- The book moves from the early astonishment at such inventions as celluloid film and waterproof clothing, to the nylon stocking riots after World War II, to the revolutionary, yet practical, proliferation of Tupperware in the '50s. The author's sweeping assessment of the social and ecomomic revolutions brought on by plastic extends from the sublime to the absurd, the beautiful to the mundane, demonstrating how scientists, artists, politicians, and the buying public have all molded, and also been molded by, plastic.
