I pretty much liked the first 180 pages but I couldn't finish it.
Yes, this book's first part based on our past and, more importantly, our present makes a compelling scheme of things.
While some of the predictions failed already as Russia wouldn't wait with its moves but who's able to predict it all?
The chaos of Isis, Russia as a gas station for EU and many other things are obvious even for a rookie like me.

Hidden lunar bases? Battle stars by 2050?
Seeing all the stuff happening, the prediction sounds like a web series - Altered Carbon meets Expanse with lots of political flavors we living with today.

I couldn't turn the page after I have read it will be cheaper for the Japanese to create rockets out of lunar stones with jet engines attached to them.
While it sounds plausible I can't imagine it happening by 2050, looks like we will be busy dying on Earth before that.
