Reading Voyage

For our next meeting, we’re discussing The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean by Susan Casey.

This isn't your typical nature book. Casey takes us inside high-tech submersibles to explore the 95% of our planet that remains a total mystery. It’s part adventure, part forensic reporting on the massive, high-stakes race to mine the seafloor for battery minerals—a move that could either save the green energy transition or destroy the world’s largest ecosystem.
