The Breastmilk of the Volcano: Unknown Fields

Over half of the world’s lithium reserves, a crucial component in batteries, lie beneath the ethereal, inverted skies of Bolivia’s Salar De Uyuni, a salt flat. If the future is electric, it has arrived, waiting patiently for the world. In this book, the author embarks on a journey across the shimmering white expanse of this ancient salt flat, where traditional indigenous narratives claim it was formed from the breast milk of a weeping volcano. This book serves as a contemporary creation story for our energy, spanning from the Big Bang to the battery, from the birth of lithium at the universe’s inception to the low power warning flashing on our screens.
