Noah Grossman’s Reviews > Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives > Status Update

I still have 59 pages to go, but my lord...this is one of the most devastating books I have ever read. The extraction of raw materials like cobalt is the price paid to make the electronics that power our advanced economies and provide us with the highest standard of living ever experienced in history. However, we don't pay that price, but rather the millions of Congolese and others who suffer and die for every gram.
