Max Pearl hat Cobalt Red von Siddharth Kara besprochen
Important and Depressing
5 Sterne
All of the things that we now depend on, in our pockets, on our desks, and, increasingly on our roads, depend largely on cobalt mined in horrific conditions, often by children in the Congo.
Really well researched and well written. The author spent time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, at times risking his life, to get the stories of the artisinal miners told. I highly recommend reading this book.
