'A remarkably hopeful and useful book...The climate crisis leaves us no choice but to build a new world and as Sanderson makes clear, we are capable of making it a better one than the dirty and dangerous planet we’ve come to take for granted.' Bill McKibben, Observer book of the week

We depend on a handful of metals and rare earths to power our phones and computers. Increasingly, we rely on them to power our cars and our homes. Whoever controls these finite commodities will become rich beyond imagining.

Sanderson journeys to meet the characters, companies, and nations scrambling for the new resources, linking remote mines in the Congo and Chile’s Atacama Desert to giant Chinese battery factories, shadowy commodity traders, secretive billionaires, a new generation of scientists attempting to solve the dilemma of a ‘greener’ world.

    Green energy is a scam.

    And fossil fuels aren't? The most profitable industry ever, heavily subsidized by governments. Prices manipulated by states and conglomerates. The effects of its pollution since our 1990s ramp up are just beginning to take root, and the moderate estimates of what will come in our lifetime are apocalyptic, that's even without the uncontrolled release of trillions of cubic feet of methane below the thinning arctic permafrost.

    We either find another way or drive off the cliff we are imminently heading towards.
