Set in the backdrop of 1900 Sheffield, a city renowned for its cutlery and industrial prowess, the narrative contrasts its historical significance with its present state. Once the tenth largest city globally, Sheffield was pivotal in producing naval armored plate before World War I. The story explores the transformation of the city, where remnants of its Victorian industrial heritage now lie obscured by modern developments and shopping centers, highlighting themes of change and loss in urban landscapes.

Set in Volta Redonda, a Brazilian steel town established in the 1940s, the narrative explores the profound impact of the Companha Siderurgica Nacional (CSN) on its residents. Once a beacon of modernization, the steel industry now embodies a complex legacy, intertwining wealth and dispossession. The book delves into the lives of those connected to CSN, revealing their fears, hopes, and daily challenges as they navigate a changing economic landscape and grapple with the consequences of a once-thriving industrial powerhouse.

A radical and original book showing how art can provide both practices of communing and a language of anti-capitalist critique.
