En las páginas webs de seguimiento de buques, las aguas son de color negro con puntos. Cada punto es un buque, cada buque está cargado de contenedores y cada contenedor está cargado de mercancías. En las economías postindustriales ya no producimos, pero compramos, por lo que debemos enviar. Sin envío no habría ropa, alimentos, papel, o combustible. Sin envío, el mundo que conocemos no funcionaría. Rose George se embarca desde Rotterdam a Singapur a bordo de buques gigantescos, patrulla el Océano Índico con un grupo de trabajo contra la piratería, se une a los capellanes marineros e investiga el daño causado a especies marinas en peligro de extinción. El transporte de mercancías está ligado a un sistema bizantino de estructuras de propiedad ocultas, regulaciones complicadas, una mano de obra en gran parte procedente de países en desarrollo y unas condiciones de trabajo inhumanas. Lejos del escrutinio público, es un sistema sombreado de "banderas de conveniencia". George revela el funcionamiento y los peligros de un mundo invisible que es la clave para nuestra economía, nuestro medio ambiente y nuestra propia civilización.
