Summary
From the moment we first drilled for oil, we opened a Pandora's box that changed the world forever. It transformed the way we lived our lives, spawned foreign wars and turned a simple natural resource into the most powerful political weapon the world has ever known. It's a journey that will help us answer a fundamental question - how did we become so addicted to oil in little more than one human lifetime?
