Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara is a powerful investigative work that exposes the human cost behind the modern world’s hunger for cobalt. Through deeply reported storytelling, the book examines the lives of miners in the Congo and the global systems that depend on this critical resource.
Part urgent exposé and part human rights account, this book is ideal for readers interested in global supply chains, ethics in industry, and the hidden stories behind everyday technology. It offers a sobering, eye-opening look at exploitation, responsibility, and the true price of progress.
