Parag Khanna
Random House
Strategist Parag Khanna gives
his powerful vision of our global
future in Connectography:
Mapping the future of global
civilization. Forces like the
internet and energy are linking parts of the world
together more strongly than ever before. Khanna’s
optimistic view of the possibilities of the future are
original and insightful as he outlines new world borders
and global supply chains. It is how we are connected that
is the future, according to Khanna, and it is this that will
affect everything from economics to the environment to
geopolitics. Scrapping the traditional geographical map,
in Khanna’s book he circumnavigates the world to show
how the most connected will come out on top.Managing for
