Material World is a groundbreaking exploration of the physical foundations of our modern existence. Ed Conway takes readers on an extraordinary journey deep into the Earth and across global supply chains to reveal how six essential materials—sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium—have shaped human history, fueled technological revolutions, and now hold the key to our future. This masterful work combines investigative journalism, history, and science to show how our dependence on these materials creates both incredible prosperity and existential vulnerabilities. It’s a revelatory look at the stuff that actually builds our world—from microchips to skyscrapers—and the hidden battles over these critical resources.
