The energy transition has a hidden engine - and it fits in the palm of your hand.
When the cost of storing a kilowatt-hour dropped below the price of building a new gas plant, the economics of the entire global energy system began to shift. Few people noticed. Fewer still understood why. This book changes that.
From the lithium-rich salt flats of the Atacama Desert to the cobalt pits of the Democratic Republic of Congo, from cramped university laboratories to billion-dollar gigafactories, this is the definitive account of how the battery became the most consequential technology of the twenty-first century. It traces the Nobel Prize-winning chemistry that made it possible, the geopolitical scramble that followed, and the industrial rivalry now playing out between East and West.
Packed with on-the-ground reporting, scientific clarity, and geopolitical urgency, this is the story of who controls the batteries - and therefore who controls the future.
For anyone who wants to understand the real forces reshaping energy, industry, and global power, this book is essential reading. Pick it up and see the world differently.
