Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara

smilagros's review against another edition
I will forever feel guilty for using the technology I use on a daily basis. People should never be forced into these terrible conditions due to the demand. My heart breaks for every single person who has lost their lives trying to make a living. Listening to the children stories made me angry at the world because they should be playing and learning. Not being forced to do this inhumane labor.

I can appreciate all the work that the author did to research and write this book. No one seems to really know or talk about cobalt mining even though it's directly linked to our rechargeable devices. I think this book will become more important now that electric cars are being pushed so heavily.
It really makes you think about what other injustices are occuring in the world. Our first world problems suddenly seem so superficial after reading a book like this.

I did listen to this book on audiobook and I felt that the audio was very well done. Sometimes non-fiction can be a bit dry, but this was narrated well, super compelling, and kept me interested in learning more.
