BOOK REVIEW: Dark Skies: Space Expansionism, Planetary Geopolitics, and the Ends of Humanity

Abstract

Scholarly papers regarding space expansionism tend to lack an overarching perspective. To fill this gap, Daniel Deudney has penned a timely book called Dark Skies: Space Expansionism, Planetary Geopolitics, and the Ends of Humanity, which makes him a pioneering scholar in laying out a holistic approach to studying space expansionism. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of both the claims of space advocates and the consequences of space activities.
