From the author of the New York Times best seller Prisoners of Geography and a leading expert in geopolitics comes a must-read book about today's Space Race – including the increasingly tense battle for dominance between the USA, China, and Russia and what it means for all of us here on Earth.

Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than the GDP of most countries.

Humans on Mars within the next ten years. This is not science fiction – it's reality.

Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much as mountains, rivers, and seas have influenced 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 fascinating work, best-selling author Tim Marshall navigates the new geopolitical landscape to show how we got here and where we are heading.

Based on extensive research and the latest data from intelligence services, governments, and political institutions, this book provides a detailed, clear description of the new space race, the competition of great powers, and how technology, economy, and war affect everyone on a global scale.

Written with the insight and spirit that have established Marshall as one of the most popular and reliable geopolitical authors in the world, The Future of Geography is an essential read on global power, politics, and the future of humanity.
