‘Having conquered the world with his bestselling series on how
geography shapes international relations, Tim Marshall is reaching
for the skies. As states and companies compete aggressively for
scarce resources on Earth, the desire to control space grows ever
more powerful. The next stage of geopolitical rivalry is being
shaped, he says, by who and what will dominate the final frontier.

and Ideas Books of 2023
‘In his latest analysis of international relations,
our geopolitical columnist Tim Marshall turns his
attention to the skies and the geopolitics of outer space, or
‘astropolitics’. We’re headed back to the Moon and this time we’re
there to stay. Will it be a mission for the benefit of all
humanity? Unlikely, says Marshall in his new book, The Future
of Geography – at least, not unless we see a lot of changes,
and we’re running out of time to make them.’ Geographical, The best
books of 2023
