Description

Then when you get to the moon, that’s more geography. There’s plains and mountains, caves and tunnels and there’s rare earth minerals, precious metals and water.” This stirring book shows why astropolitics matters for everyone on Earth—not just the scientists and the dreamers.” — Dr Bleddyn E. Bowen, author of Original Sin and War in Space Insightful, hopeful and endlessly fascinating, Marshall’s latest non-fiction masterpiece sets out the possibilities and pitfalls that lie ahead." — Daily Express There is a name for Marshall’s line of thinking: geopolitics. Although the term is often used loosely to mean “international relations”, it refers more precisely to the view that geography – mountains, land bridges, water tables – governs world affairs. Ideas, laws and culture are interesting, geopoliticians argue, but to truly understand politics you must look hard at maps. And when you do, the world reveals itself to be a zero-sum contest in which every neighbour is a potential rival, and success depends on controlling territory, as in the boardgame Risk. In its cynical view of human motives, geopolitics resembles Marxism, just with topography replacing class struggle as the engine of history. Scientists onboard the ISS have already created living tissue using a 3D printer and bio-ink while working in the Bio Fabrication Facility.”

The book works like a video essay the zoomers prefer and is suitable for gobbling. Marshall did not forget to allude to amusing anecdotes as always to keep the audience awake.

Wir wissen alle, dass die Ressourcen auf diesem Planeten endlich sind. Wenn wir unseren Lebensstandard halten wollen und auch künftigen Generationen ermöglichen möchten, müssen wir uns daher woanders nach Rohstoffen umsehen. Eine naheliegende Lösung sind dabei die anderen Himmelskörper in unserem Sonnensystem. Der nächstgelegene ist natürlich der Mond und er ist rohstoffreicher, als die meisten von uns wahrscheinlich vermuten. Der Aufbau von Rohstoffminen auf dem Mond mag für viele noch wie ferne Zukunftsmusik klingen, aber die Pläne dazu sind in vollem Gange. Und das dies nicht ohne internationalen Wettkampf um die Vorherrschaft einhergehen wird, ist vorauszusehen.There are many very positive things going on in space about solar power, medical experiments, which will benefit all of humankind. But I just wanted to write a book that talked about where we are now, that there’s a geography to this and there’s an international relations to this. Not only did he identify that the space race will be tripartite, he convincingly pointed out that the acrimony will eventually classify into two major camps respectively led by the US and China, surrounded by scattered weathervanes if not rogue nations. Written with insight and great wit, this is an essential take on power, politics and the future of humanity from the UK's most popular writer on geopolitics.' The Daily Telegraph
