Center for Innovating the Future Publishes a Groundbreaking New Book on the

Future of Globalization

The world’s top geopolitical futurist, and author of the worldwide hit, “Go.AI (Geopolitics of
Artificial Intelligence)," returns with a new book on how globalization is undergoing its most
radical transformation since World War II.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada November 01, 2021 --(PR.com)-- From London to Tokyo, governments around
the globe are angry with the status quo. They feel the current design of the world has caused them to lose
sovereignty, and control over their societies and economies. Now, armed with technologies like AI, 5G
and blockchain, countries are fighting back.

The European Union (EU) is decoupling from US technologies; India is pushing back against “digital
colonialism”; the UAE and Saudi Arabia are competing for “tech power.” And, in the backdrop of all this,
China is using technology to challenge the US for global supremacy, splitting the world.

Instead of the world being open, connected and accessible, as it has been for decades, now it is becoming
full of technology-based walls and barriers (vertical). Governments are using technology to unplug from
the systems, institutions and ideas that have underpinned the world for decades. The new design of
globalization, and the world, is vertical.

Written by the world’s top authority on geopolitics of technology, Abishur Prakash, “The World Is
Vertical: How Technology Is Remaking Globalization,” is the first book to answer what’s next for
globalization as nations (and Big Tech) use technology in unprecedented ways. As globalization
undergoes its most radical transformation since World War II, the fates and fortunes of every company,
country, city and citizen are on the line.

Prakash was born in New Zealand to parents from India, had his childhood in Australia and now resides
in Canada. He is a co-founder and geopolitical futurist at Center for Innovating the Future, an advisory
firm based in Toronto, Canada. In 2013, Prakash coined the expression “Next Geopolitics,” to define how
technology is transforming global power. The World Is Vertical is his fifth book.
