Not as good as the earlier two in the series in my opinion but still excellent. Slow start - could have jumped straight to part two - but the remainder is an entertaining tour of space politics and speculation of future technologies.

Very similar style to his other books in terms of the style and format its written. Found it a bit more repetitive than some of the others but quite an interesting overview of whats been done in space before and bit scary making it sound like space is gonna be where every country ends up fighting in future

Cuốn này giống như là phần sau của cuốn Quyền lực địa lý. Chủ yếu nói về sức mạnh khi chiếm được outer space. Cũng giống như series Lược sử loài người và Lược sử tương lai, mình thích những cuốn original nói về quá khứ và hiện tại hơn

I have read nearly all of Tim Marshalls book and although nothing can beat the OG Prisoners of Geography, this is certainly a brilliant book. I had never thought much about the politics of space let alone the geopolitics of it. I found it all very fascinating, a good introduction to the field of astropolitics and also gave lots of scifi recommendations that I will definitely give a go. Safe to say that Marshall continues to be one of my go to authors for understanding geopolitics and I look forward to any further books he may bring out.

The Future of Geography by Tim Marshall--This is a fun ride. It's an exploration of our journey to the Moon and beyond, with an emphasis on modern day geopolitical tensions and legal loopholes that stand in the way of interplanetary exploration and commerce. At the same time, though, the author is very suspicious of China's intentions in space, making that very clear, while being surprisingly forgiving of the United States' efforts there. That's fine, but it kind of undermines his late-book vision of a world where international peace is acquired because of space exploration somehow. Despite this discrepancy, the book is fun and educational. Thumbs up.
