Divided: Why We're Living in an Age of Walls

Absolutely loved this. I didn't finish it sooner because every page made me do a Google search to know more about a certain topic. In fact, I felt so ignorant at times; this book made me realize how much I still have to learn about what has already happened and what is currently happening in politics/society/culture worldwide.
A few reviews here point out how "outdated" this book is, which is absolutely ridiculous. It's a *book* on geopolitics; it's outdated even before it hits bookshelves. Meanwhile, Hong Kong is in a disarray, the Indian government has stripped Kashmir of its autonomy, and Brexit is still a chaotic, unresolved mess. It's impossible not to be outdated when we're talking about the present.
I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about geopolitics!

I agree some parts are shallow, eg: China and US if compared to his Prisoners of Geography, but I still don't understand how can some people cruelly gave two or three stars when the author painstakingly gather the info and present to his readers in laymen term.
I guess those people can stick to reading newspaper and compile the info themselves then.
