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.
