This is not science fiction; it is astropolitics. We are entering a new space race, which could revolutionize life on Earth. Space is a wild and lawless place, already central to communication, economics, military strategy, and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation, and conquest. We are heading up and out, and we are taking our power struggles with us. China, the USA, and Russia are leading the way. From physical territory and resources to satellites, weaponry, and strategic choke points, geopolitics is as important in the skies above us as it is down below. If you have ever wondered if humans are going back to the Moon, who will benefit from exploration, or what space wars might look like, the answers are here. With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK's most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we are going, covering great-power rivalry, technology, commerce, combat in space, and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. This is essential reading on power, politics, and the future of humanity.
