Gave Up Partway Through

Clancy Martin: How Not to Kill Yourself (2023, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group) 3 stars

Content warning I mean it's a book about suicide so bear that in mind

finished reading Material World by Ed Conway

Was asked to write a review of this book (this is not the review, just me logging it). It's very weird to read a whole book about key commodities and supply chains that treats capitalism and colonialism as basically a tertiary angle of the narrative? There's a lot of well-meaning gee-whiz language here that I am maybe too cynical for. Some pretty good "how it works" type writing for complex industrial processes, though.
