From the author of Prisoners of Geography, a New York Times best seller and a leading expert in geopolitics, comes a book that everyone must read about today's Space Race – including the increasingly tense battle for dominance among the U.S., 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. People 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 cultures around the world.

It's no coincidence that Russia, China, and the U.S. are at the forefront. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics and the global order as we know it.

In this captivating work, best-selling author Tim Marshall navigates the new geopolitical landscape to show how we got here and where we are headed.

Based on extensive research and the latest data from intelligence agencies, governments, and political institutions, this book provides a detailed, clear account of the new space race, great power competition, and how technology, the economy, and warfare are affecting everyone on a global scale.

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