The Race for What No One Owns
The New Scramble for Orbit, the Moon, and the Deep SeaBy Tobias Veylen
Length7h 7m
About this audiobook
Who controls the places no nation can own?
Earth’s orbit is crowding. Governments and companies are preparing for the Moon. Vast areas of the deep seabed have already been assigned for exploration.
No one officially owns these frontiers. Yet power is taking shape through position, infrastructure, standards, safety zones, contracts, and precedent.
In The Race for What No One Owns, Tobias Veylen reveals how practical control can emerge where sovereignty is forbidden. Listeners will discover why satellites have become essential infrastructure, why lunar resources are drawing global attention, how the international seabed is being divided, and how early movers may secure lasting advantages before the rules are fully written.
Accessible, balanced, and compelling, this audiobook explains one of the defining geopolitical shifts of the twenty-first century.
The next great scramble has already begun.
