QUOTE : Deepwater was a rare laying-bare of the darker operations of the global extraction industries. One of the agreement tacitly made by consumers with these industries is that extraction and its costs will remain mostly out of sight, and there undisturbing to its beneficiaries. Those industries understand the market need for alienated labour, hidden infrastructure and the strategic concealment of both the slow violence of environment degradation and the quick violence of accidents. Deepwater violated that agreement shockingly, manifesting a substance on which most modern human life depends but that few people encounter in the raw.
