“
Plastic
is powerful and moving, a deep, personal exploration of the modern world.”—
Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize recipient for
The Making of the Atomic Bomb
In
Plastic: An Autobiography
, Cobb’s obsession with a large plastic car part leads her to explore the violence of our consume-and-dispose culture, including her own life as a child of Los Alamos, where the first atomic bombs were made. The journey exposes the interconnections among plastic waste, climate change, nuclear technologies, and racism. Using a series of interwoven narratives―from ancient Phoenicia to Alabama―the book bears witness to our deepest entanglements and asks how humans continue on this planet.
