Synopsis

Where will you live in 2030? Where will your children settle in 2040? What will the map of humanity look like in 2050?

In the 60,000 years since humans began colonising the continents, one constant feature of our civilization has been mobility. We've been on a permanent search for resources and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides, pandemics and plagues - only accelerate the process. The map of humanity isn't settled - not now, not ever.

As climate change crosses the danger point, economies collapse, politics destabilises and technology disrupts, a new age of mass migrations is upon us. Which areas will people abandon and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? How will today's eight billion people - especially our four billion restless youth - create the next map of human geography?

Global strategy advisor Parag Khanna provides an illuminating and authoritative vision of the next iteration of human civilisation, one that is both mobile and sustainable. In the years ahead, we will move people to where the resources are and technologies to the people who need them. Move is a fascinating and enlightening exploration of the deep trends - demographic and societal, economic and geopolitical, technological and environmental - that are shaping the most likely scenarios for the future. Most importantly, it guides each of us as we determine our optimal location on humanity's ever-changing map.
