In the groundbreaking work "Connectography," Parag Khanna presents a compelling vision of the future where traditional political borders are overshadowed by the dynamic power of global connectivity. With a keen eye for detail and a wealth of knowledge, Khanna navigates the reader through a world increasingly defined not by geographical lines but by the intricate web of transportation, energy, and communication infrastructures. This pivotal shift, fueled by a staggering annual investment of up to ten trillion dollars, promises to reshape the very fabric of geopolitics, economics, and social identity, making connectivity the ultimate currency of power in the 21st century. Khanna's narrative is both enlightening and provocative as he explores the profound implications of this new global landscape. From the strategic deployment of militaries to secure supply chains rather than borders, to the race for connectivity that sees China emerging as a formidable global leader through its ambitious Silk Roads initiative, "Connectography" offers a visionary outlook on the changing dynamics of global power. Through a series of vivid, on-the-ground accounts from Ukraine to North Korea, and from the Arctic Circle to the South China Sea, Khanna illustrates how connectivity is forging a new world order—one where resource wars are a relic of the past, and where infrastructure investments in transport corridors and power grids herald a more peaceful and prosperous future. In this compelling narrative, Khanna not only charts the path towards a more interconnected planet but also invites us to reimagine our collective destiny in this bold new world.
