Abstract
This review essay considers contemporary issues in ‘astropolitics’, the geopolitics of outer space. It does so in the context of Tim Marshall’s 2023 book, The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change Our World. After enjoying considerable success with his books on Earth-bound geopolitics, Marshall turns his attention to outer space and once again finds the politics between states playing out, albeit amid a radically different and hostile geography beyond the planet’s atmosphere. The Future of Geography serves as a first-rate primer on astropolitics. However, the book’s accessibility comes at a cost, with some important subjects only receiving superficial treatment.
