📝 Description
Cobalt Red is a non-fiction investigative book that exposes the human rights abuses and environmental devastation occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It details the harrowing conditions of 'artisanal' miners, including children, who dig for the cobalt essential to the global rechargeable battery supply chain. The book provides a first-hand account of the 'sub-human' conditions in the mines, the systemic corruption, and the disconnect between corporate sustainability claims and the reality on the ground. It serves as a critical examination of the ethical cost of the digital and green energy revolutions.
