About this listen
In this eye-opening episode of Books in Dialogue, we dissect Siddharth Kara's Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives, a harrowing exposé of the human rights abuses and environmental devastation linked to cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Discover how the demand for smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles implicates us all in a cycle of exploitation and suffering.
Join us as we confront the uncomfortable truths about the devices we can't live without and explore the ethical responsibilities of consumers and corporations alike.
Note: This episode contains discussions of child labor, environmental destruction, and systemic exploitation.
