The best things said about it
I think people should read your book connect ography and see the immense amount of research and analysis and thinking that you've done at scales both grand and in micro levels as well.
I have a whole map of this in the book where I point out that the more pipelines you build between Russia and Europe and the more a natural gas that Europe can import through turkey from North Africa from the United States the United States now ships and liquid natural gas to the Baltic countries.
They might be permanent expats they belong to what I call in the book the independent Republic of the supply chain.
A lot of the stories are included in this book.
This was one of the hardest areas of data gathering for me to do for this book but it's all embodied in one map.
Why people recommend it
Connectography by Parag Khanna is a sweeping examination of how global infrastructure, supply chains, and connectivity are actively mapping the future of human civilization. On the a16z Podcast, host Sonal welcomed the author to discuss these sprawling themes, ultimately concluding the interview by praising the immense amount of micro and macro-level research embedded in the publication and urging the audience to read it. Khanna detailed specific arguments from his work, including the complex geopolitics of energy pipelines connecting Russia, Europe, and North America, and how these networks foster supply chain resilience. The author also introduced his concept of the independent Republic of the supply chain to describe the identity of permanent expatriates and global workers. Discussing his travels over the previous decade, Khanna explained how he visited emerging smart cities and special economic zones that barely existed on traditional maps. He noted that gathering data on these zones was among his most challenging research tasks, yet their economic contributions are fully captured within the comprehensive maps and analyses presented in the book.
