About this listen
Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century—new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography.
Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries’ GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
Humans are heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics.
In this gripping book, bestselling author Tim Marshall lays bare the new geopolitical realities to show how we got here and where we’re going, covering the new space race; great-power rivalry; technology; economics; war; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this is the essential book on power, politics and the future of humanity.

Read it soon
The brilliant thing about Tim Marshall is he writes in such an engaging and story-telling way that I think it’s possible one can forget that actually this is an account of what has happened, what is happening today and what the future might look like. As in his other two geography books this is a fascinating and thought-provoking g account of geopolitical strategies, plans and tactics of those who can afford to be in this ‘space’, and how this might turn out. We’re destroying our earth and we’ll have to leave one-day, hopefully this will be as one mankind.

Never knew
I never knew how many countries are already part of the space race. How early it all started (we all know about the man on the Moon, but little most people know of the many kind of satellites and their uses).
Very interesting and thought provoking book.

Another great read from Tim Marshall
Having read both of the authors prior books, this one did not disappoint! Though a lot of the book is based on hypotheticals, it has to be as we are yet to explore space in such a manner as that which we’ve just dawned upon.

Another belter from Tim Marshall
Great analysis and told with a characteristic mix of detail and humour that makes a complicated subject eminently digestible.
Well narrated, though early on I realised the narrator's voice reminded me of William Hague and I couldn't un-hear him from then on.

Fantastic book once again, at least in his top 2. The last chapters are just brilliant.

Geopolitics that is quite literally 'Out of thie World'!
Absolutely fascinating treatise of planetary politics. An epic voyage of discovery that balances history with future postulations and predictions. This final book in the "Geography" trilogy is very well-read by the author and a thought provoking account indeed!

Lights years of knowledge.
Absolutely love Tim Marshalls books. Excellent narrator with a fantastic writing style. Following his last chapter of space from "The Power of Geography" this book is an excellent extension. Loved every minute, albeit the frightening thought of it ever happening.

Enjoyable book to get your mind whirling with possibilities!
I have enjoyed all of his books and this was no different. Really interesting to find out what has already happened in space and what the future might hold
