Overview

Space is the new frontier of global power, and Tim Marshall - the UK's most trusted voice on geopolitics - turns his sharp analytical eye skyward in this gripping follow-up to his bestselling Prisoners of Geography series. The Future of Geography explores how nations race to claim territory, resources and strategic advantage beyond Earth's atmosphere. Blending accessible storytelling with rigorous insight, Marshall reveals why the battle for space could define the next century of human history, and what it means for all of us watching from below.

About the Book

Space has quietly become central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations here on Earth - and now it is the arena for a new kind of exploration, exploitation and possibly conquest. In The Future of Geography, Tim Marshall charts how China, the USA and Russia are jostling for position above the clouds, from physical territory and mineral resources to satellites, anti-satellite weaponry and strategic choke points in orbit. He asks the questions readers actually want answered: will humans return to the Moon, who stands to profit from exploration, and what might a war in space actually look like? With the same clarity and expertise that made Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography bestsellers, Marshall traces how we arrived at this moment and where the new space race is heading. He covers great-power rivalry, commercialisation of orbit by private companies, cutting-edge technology, combat beyond Earth, and the consequences for politics, economics and security back on the ground. Thoughtful and readable, this is essential reading on power, politics and the future of humanity.
