Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century – new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography.

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 astropolitics.

Humans are heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. 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.

In this gripping book, bestselling author Tim Marshall lays bare the new geopolitical realities to show how we got here and where we’re going, covering the new space race; great-power rivalry; technology; economics; war; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this is the essential read on power, politics and the future of humanity.

One of my favorite books ever

What an amazing piece of literature; Great narration (aside from some bad habit of inhaling between sentences, that part could be better, but it’s barely noticeable). Awesome to get an insight into something so valuable and so well written! 5 star easy! Can’t wait to see where this is going, both this author’s work and the world at large and in detail. Thanks Tim

an easy to follow along book

Some really interesting stuff in this book. really easy to follow along. I just wish it was twice as long, didn’t want it to end.
