The Story
In the next thirty years, global forces will compel billions of people to move, ushering in a radical era of human mobility. History shows that after every great catastropheâwhether pandemic, war, or climate shiftâour instinct for security drives us to resettle. The map of humanity has never been settled, and as we face the most volatile period in history, global strategy advisor Parag Khanna explores the urgent question of where we will go and who will be welcomed.
Building on his acclaimed TED Talks, Khanna introduces a future shaped by the "mobility mandate." He argues that we must reconcile the growing gap between where people are and where the resources remain. By examining the intersection of climate change, economic shifts, and political unrest, this book provides a visionary roadmap for the next map of human geography.
Move is an essential guide to the seismic shifts ahead, offering a blueprint for a more sustainable and mobile civilization. Khanna, a world-renowned expert in international relations and drone technology, delivers a compelling look at how we can navigate these changes to create a more resilient future for the billions alive today and those yet to come.
