The library just auto-abducted this one back to its shelves and I'm not toooo bummed about it? Very relevant and informative, but just so bleak and hopeless? Maybe the ending has a "so here's what we can do" chapter, but so far it's a massive "here's a million ways our cell phones are unethical, we're all complicit, and we're all powerless to stop it."

We are so dependent on energy that something like this should be required reading, but it is SO dry listening to a longwinded man discuss all the minerals that go into batteries and all the power struggles in how they are unethically mined. There's no flow, it's just "here's how all the ways we get these minerals are utterly unethical"

Yeah Idk how much more of this I can do. It essentially reads as "we are all dependent on our utterly unethical power system that has always been evil and we're powerless to stop it."
