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 people began colonising the continents a
recurring feature of human civilisation has been mobility - the constant search for resources
and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides revolutions and pandemics - have
only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn't settled not now not ever. As climate
change tips toward full-blown crisis economies collapse governments destabilise and
technology disrupts we're entering a new age of mass migrations - one that will scatter both
the dispossessed and the well-off. Which areas will people abandon and where will they
resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? As today's world population which
includes four billion restless youth votes with their feet what map of human geography will
emerge? Here global strategy advisor Parag Khanna provides an illuminating and authoritative
vision of the next phase of human civilisation - one that is both mobile and sustainable. As
the book explores in the years ahead people will move to where the resources are and
technologies will flow to the people who need them returning us to our nomadic roots while
building more secure habitats. Move is a fascinating look at the deep trends 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.
