    About this audiobook

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography and leading geopolitics expert comes an “insightful, hopeful, and endlessly fascinating” (Daily Express) book on today’s space race—including the increasingly tense power struggle between the US, China, and Russia and what it means for all of us here on Earth.

    Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries’ GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years. This isn’t science fiction—it’s reality.

    Humans are venturing up and out, and we’re taking our competitive spirit with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers, and seas have impacted civilizations around the world. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China, and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics and the world order as we know it.

    In this must-read work, bestselling author Tim Marshall navigates the new astropolitical reality to show how we got here and where we’re heading. Extensively researched, “thought-provoking” (Popular Science), and drawing on the latest information from intelligence, government, and civilian institutions, this book provides a detailed, clear account of the new space race, the power rivalries, and how technology, economics, and war have a ripple effect on everyone across the globe. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall one of the world’s most popular and trusted writer on geopolitics, The Future of Geography is an essential read about global power, politics, and the future of humanity.

    Editor's Note

    Space race…

    Marshall (“Prisoners of Geography”) applies his extensive knowledge of history, economics, and geopolitics to space exploration. As global superpowers like the U.S., China, and Russia set their sights on geography above and beyond Earth, will we solve our most pressing problems, or simply create new ones? Marshall begs this question and offers educated predictions with infectious enthusiasm.

    • 5/5
      Witty, insightful, inspiring,informative without hyperbole nor cynicism. The author has a great talent to cogently describe a number of potential future technological advances in space exploration without dismissing any no matter how improbable they may seem at the present. Excellent.
    • 5/5
      very powerful audio book on the future of political geography with emphasis on the importance of space technology.
    • 3/5
      Very interesting points throughout the whole book. The only downside is that the narrator is constantly spitting on the mic. It would be better to hire a professional speaker or implement AI narration.
