Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara is an investigative nonfiction book about the human and environmental cost of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kara, known for his research on modern slavery and forced labor, uses field reporting and interviews to document the conditions inside artisanal and militia-linked mining zones. The book explains how cobalt, a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, connects Congolese labor conditions to everyday technologies such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Its purpose is not only to describe a resource economy, but also to expose the moral contradictions behind clean energy and digital convenience when the supply chain depends on exploitation, child labor, and ecological damage. It is both a human rights report and a critique of global consumption.
