The book begins with Sophie Amundsen, a 14-year-old girl living in Norway, who starts a correspondence course in philosophy with a mysterious philosopher named Alberto Knox.
Through this course, Sophie learns about the history of Western philosophy, from ancient myths and natural philosophers to modern thinkers like Sartre.
As she delves deeper into philosophy, Sophie becomes entangled in a complex narrative involving another girl named Hilde and her father, Albert Knag, who is revealed to be the author of the world Sophie inhabits.
The novel blends philosophical education with a metafictional narrative, exploring themes of reality, existence, and the power of philosophical thought.
