Product Description
Cobalt Red
Author: Siddharth Kara
Format: Paperback
Cobalt Red is an investigation into the human cost of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where roughly three-quarters of the world's supply is dug from the ground, often by impoverished labourers and children in dangerous conditions. Drawing on testimonies gathered from the Congolese people themselves, Siddharth Kara traces the supply chain from toxic pits to the tech giants whose batteries power phones, laptops and electric cars.
He argues that this reliance implicates us all in the suffering and environmental damage it causes.
