The Future of Geography: How power and politics in space will change our world by Tim Marshall

4.0

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.
