About this listen

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 not just the dispossessed but all of us. 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 civilization - 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A bit too many buzzwords

Dogmatic representation of the future presented with excruciating certainty. Good for people that want to be convinced or their own beliefs.

Bland and uninsightful

I bought this hoping for a book with the calibre of Sapiens, Black Swans etc. Very disappointed - basically proceeds like an undergraduate overview of migration, with very little insight or anything of interest. Recommend you avoid this one.

Two dots make a trend ... painful book

Historic volatility stops now, the future is linear and precisely the continuation of the couple of phenomena that the author has handpicked. It is comical how Mr Khanna takes a few observations and makes broad brush conclusions for all members of a certain generation regardless of socio-economic or cultural background. He is the embodiment of confirmation bias. Don't buy MOVE, donate a history book (or better any of Mr Taleb's writings) to Mr Khanna instead.

Superficial

Not one claim in the book is substantiated. The author blithely moves from one thing to another without unpacking statements to present an argument to support the statement. Is the reader/listener supposed to just take what is said at face value because the author did a Ted talk? As an example one suggestion is that in the past there was a social contract: the state gave rights and citizens performed duties. Nowadays, apparently, the state gives rights but the young feel no obligation to be dutiful. If the young don't get what they want they'll just move to another more obliging state, such as Dubai. A couple of chapters on the author praises Singapore because it has a successful social contract that delivers rights to its dutiful citizens... If you want to read a good book about migration and movement read Hein de Haas's 'How Migration Really Works'.
