Where will you live in 2030? Where will your children settle in 2040? What will the map of humanity look like in 2050?
Mobility is a recurring feature of human civilisation. Now, 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?
In Move, 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 – while guiding each of us as we determine our optimal location on humanity’s ever-changing map.

Scintillating . . . In a political climate where the oldest human impulse - to move for a better life for ourselves and our kids - is demonised by nationalists across the world, Khanna offers a clear-eyed, unapologetic defence of the right to migrate
Despite the calls in parts of the west to halt the flows of people, Khanna sees mass migration as both inevitable and welcome. But his work also contains dark forecasts about how much migration will be driven by the changing climate
Impressive . . . Parag Khanna proves again why he is one of the world's most incisive thinkers . . . The book's great accomplishment is that it not only reveals what will soon be upon us, but what lies ahead for our children and grandchildren
Authoritative and fact filled yet pleasurable to read, this vitally important book presents a thorough investigation of the history of human migration and a discerning estimate of its probable future
A real eye opener . . . Move makes clear that, though 'mobility' can be for some a desperate flight for refuge, it's also - for younger generations growing into a multi-cultural, one-planet civilisation - a new expression of possibility
Daring, smart, unforgettable . . . A rich exploration of our times and the way forward
A provocative vision. Khanna's nuanced and insightful portrait of a world on the move challenges us to rethink how, where, and with whom we'll inhabit the planet
A nuanced discussion of the increasing importance of free movement across the planet. Khanna makes an urgent, powerful argument for more open international borders
Without fundamentally rethinking our economic models, the colliding demographic, environmental and political crises many countries face will snowball into economic disasters. In Move, Parag Khanna cuts through the clutter like no one else, providing a roadmap to a more sustainable future
Thought provoking . . . As this book demonstrates, the climate crisis is just one of many forces that will have humans more on the move this century
Illuminates a host of new realities. Move outlines the forces creating a new geography of opportunity
Parag Khanna's brilliant new book describes a world shaped not just by democracy or capitalism, but, increasingly, by migration
No one knows more about how global connectivity works than Parag Khanna. Here he examines exactly how the coming massive migrations away from increasing droughts and toward jobs can play out to humanity's great benefit - or great harm
