Move: How Mass Migration Will Reshape the World – and What It Means for You

Phenomenal Narrative on Migration, Climate and Chainging Social Tides
The world today is not simple. It is complex, dynamic and there are many moving parts. Khanna did a superb job at weaving climate change, political conflict, demographic change, social upheaval and other trends to tell the story about our species' innate nature to 'move'.This is a book best appreciated by systems thinkers who have a sense of geopolitics, nationalism, climate change and economics.I look forward to his next book!

important topics. this book might make you dumber on all of them.
The author is clearly well read and well connected, and shares a lot of interesting insights, anecdotes and data points. Unfortunately he then goes on to string them together in an unsubstantiated, sloppy narrative that will leave you a little bit stupider than you were before you read it.There are important topics covered in this book, and if you want to get smarter about them there are better books.

Interesante compendio de movilidad
El primer capítulo del libro hace más síntesis de las fuerzas impulsoras de la movilidad en el planeta. El resto de libro describe eventos y situaciones que han ocurrido en distintas latitudes del planeta. Esto último es interesante en informativo pero nada más

well written and highly topical... read it to better understand the future
forecasting the future is often a fools game but this author hasbased his predictions on well established trends that are buildingmomentum.

especially useful for younger generations
As with any book that tries to predict the future, some things will turn out to be accurate, others no to much. For example, I was always in agreement with Parag about reducing military and using money elsewhere until the recent invasion of Ukraine. Just look at how Germany is reacting with 100 billion allocated for military.With respect to having flexibility to move I suppose war only increases the advantage to be able to pack up and take off and, most obviously, climate change which is principle point of the book. The challenge that is not really addressed in the book is designing a plan and being able to pull it off. If you stay in same country it’s a little easier but if work remotely and Europe looks enticing you a will be faces with language, culture, and visa issues while at same time , not owning a home.I love the idea of feeling free and having options. The book makes you think, a lot, but can’t and won’t map out your plan such as “ move here” or “ do this “ . The author can’t do it because no one knows what it will look like 10, 15, 20 years from now.Summary: I think you should buy it.

Great book, with a very good perspective about migrations.
I read now maybe 30% of the book and the book is great. I like how the author wrote his perspective on migrations and how he used facts to prove he believes.

Migration for survival and prosperity. People without borders
This is an excellent, well researched book on how people have moved to green pastures continously fir improving their life standards. Some for recognition, some for money and some persecuted. One disturbing representation is on India. It is frstrating to read half baked research on faje narratives about minorities and also about Modis policiesExcept for this minor blemishes, it is a must read for all to understand how in future just borders alonevwill not hold peoplevto be loyal tontheir country of birth which we have seen with our people who are settled abroadGood research across so many countries
