"A season of unrest looms ahead, and The Hidden Globe lays out the unvarnished truth in a luminous feat of reportage.”—Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist’s riveting account exposes a parallel universe that has become a haven for the rich and powerful.

A globe shows the world we think we know: neatly delineated sovereign nations that grant or restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside their borders, however, another universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, and increasingly for the benefit of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.

Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of this hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed their only commodity: bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Over time, economists, theorists, statesmen, and consultants evolved ever more sophisticated ways of exporting and exploiting statelessness, in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centers, charter cities controlled by foreign corporations, and even into outer space. By mapping this countergeography, which decides who wins and who loses in the new global order—and helping us to see how it might be otherwise—The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires.

一个动荡的季节即将到来，《隐藏地球》以一篇揭丑之作揭露了这一真相，光芒闪耀。——《明尼阿波利斯星 Tribune》哈蒙德·凯恩 国界画出一幅世界地图；金钱则绘制另一幅。一位记者令人着迷的叙述揭示了一个与富人和权贵紧密相关的平行世界。 地球仪展示了我们以为自己所知的世界：划分得井然有序的主权国家，它们给予或剥夺公民的权利。然而，在其边界之下、之上及之内，一个被精心设计的存在了另一个宇宙。它由成千上万的非领土区组成，大部分独立运营，并且越来越多地为最富有的人和公司服务。 奥塔萨·阿布拉罕尼安追溯了这个隐藏地球的崛起，可以追溯到十三世纪的瑞士，当时贫困的邦国通过出售唯一商品——雇佣兵的身体来推销自己。随着时间的推移，经济学家、理论家、政治家以及顾问们发展出越来越复杂的手段，将无国籍状态出口和利用，形式为自由贸易区、方便旗帜、海外拘留中心、由外国公司控制的城市，并且甚至延伸至外太空。通过绘制这种反地缘学景观，《隐藏地球》令人着迷、愤怒并启发我们思考它可能呈现何种景象。
