This book explores the transition from an oil-driven economy to one reliant on metals and rare earths. It examines how these resources are essential for modern technology, including electric vehicles and renewable energy. The author investigates the global scramble for control over these finite materials, visiting remote mines in places like the Congo and Chile, as well as Chinese battery factories. Sanderson profiles key players in this new resource race, including billionaires, commodity traders, and scientists working on sustainable solutions in response to the climate crisis.
