In this book Kai Löffelbein (born 1981) follows the electronic-waste trails from Europe and the US to Agbogbloshie in Ghana, the e-waste city of Guiyu in China and the workshops of New Delhi. He meticulously documents the appalling conditions under which workers, sometimes even children, attempt to recover valuable raw materials contained in e-waste.
PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Wired
Michael Hardy
The hellish e-waste graveyards where computers are mined for metal.
Huck
Miss Rosen
Löffelbein’s ability to enter into these worlds mirrors his ability to create intense, intimate portraits of a reality that feels like the provenance of sci-fi fantasy, a nihilistic image of the twenty-first century.
