Who will be the lawmakers in space? Could we soon see satellite warfare? Join bestselling author Tim Marshall in conversation with Brian Clegg to celebrate the release of his new book The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change our World.
Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth billions. People on Mars within our lifetime. This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration exploitation – and, possibly, conquest. China, the USA and Russia are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics.
With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows that politics and geography are as important in the skies as on the ground, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it all means for us down on Earth. Tim and Brian discuss the role astropolitics has to play in our society today and why power and politics in space will define the future of humanity.
A Night In with Tim Marshall was originally broadcast on Fri 12 May 2023.
