ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2024
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
“Vivid, revelatory, and politically unpredictable…What bothers Abrahamian, in the end, isn’t the anarchic but the unfair; if capital is free, people deserve the same respect.” —Gideon Lewis-Kraus, The New Yorker
"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.

The Best Sunglasses
Color: Black
I was hesitant to purchase these at first. I'm so glad I did, though. They are light-weight, comfortable, and super stylish. I work in the desert, so the side guards are very helpful in keeping the sand and dust out (not entirely, but they help). I will absolutely purchase again.

Best battery bank I have used so far
Color: Black, Color: Black
Omg I love this thing. Ordered one from Anker and it took a few days to get to me. Loved it so much I ordered two more from Amazon due to shipping speed.
I also own the larger version of this with the retractable cable and kept it as my primary battery Bank.
The device is small enough to easily fit and comfortably hold in my pocket. It's super fast charges my phone with its retractable cable which is insanely useful. The digital display on it is perfectly designed.
I currently use three devices consistently throughout my entire day that require recharging. This battery bank is insanely useful.
The difference between this bank and the others comes down to a few things. Really good brand name as Anker has made some really good products over the years. The retractable usb-c cable is absolutely a game changer. The 10,000 mah battery can charge my phone twice before needing to recharged. It's a small cube and for me I can easily just throw it in my pocket or if somebody was to add a metal clip they could just clip it to their clothes and forget about it. I travel a lot so you have no idea how awesome it is to have a device die and simply just plug it in to the bank and continue walking without having to find a power outlet. If I could suggest anything he would be for the brand to conclude a clip that we can use so I could clip it to my backpack. Well that's it

Great overall charger, retractable USB-C huge benefit.
Color: Green
This charger works great. Charges my S22 fast, able to charge multiple devices at once and can even recharge while charging a device at the same time. I like the screen and info it shows including the % charge remaining, input and output wastage, and battery cycles. The retractable USB-C is a huge benefit so you don't have to carry a separate cord around. Also being able to recharge with the same built in USB-C huge benefit. Have not dropped it but would be a bit worried I would damage the screen if I did but overall has very compact and durable feel to it.

Great product. Size of 2 ice cubes and a little weighty. Charges and recharges fast. Included cable made traveling easy and less things to lose and get tangled in your backpack/case.

Powerful, superfast, excellent value
Color: Black
Product is exactly as expected, compact, charges super fast, love the retractable cable, easy to use the display and love the features. Powered on/off with ease. As for reliability, I've only had it a couple of days so we'll see. Would definitely recommend this to others.
