Summary
Tim Marshall: The Future of Geography
From the bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography
How the Space Race Will Change Our World "The ultimate account of planetary politics." – Sunday Times
Spy satellites in lunar orbit. Space metals worth billions of dollars. People on Mars in our lifetime. All this introduces us to a new race in space, which could bring about revolutionary changes on Earth. New territories in space, this lawless wilderness already occupy a significant place in communications, economy, military strategy and international relations. It is the latest arena of human exploration, future exploitation and perhaps conquest. We are going up, beyond Earth, ready to transfer our conflicts there as well. We are led by China, America and Russia.
With the insights and lucidity that have made Tim Marshall the most popular writer when it comes to geopolitics, this book describes great power rivalry, new technologies, trade, conflicts in space and what it will all mean for us down on Earth. This is a read about power, government, politics and the future of humanity.
