A geopolitical forecast that projects how power will shift and be contested across the 21st century, arguing that the United States will remain the dominant global power while new regional powers emerge, old rivals wax and wane, and periodic conflicts and technological revolutions—especially in space and weaponry—reshape alliances and borders; the book explains these trends through demography, geography, economics, and strategic imperatives and offers scenario-based predictions about which nations will rise or fall and how recurring geopolitical logic will drive future crises and opportunities.
