NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 5 BOOKS OF 2024 ON CBS SUNDAY MORNING 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 buying and selling of citizenship has become a legitimate, thriving business in just a few years. Entrepreneurs are renouncing America and Europe in favor of tax havens in the Caribbean with the help of a cottage industry of lawyers, bankers, and consultants that specialize in expatriation. But as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian discovered, the story of twenty-first century citizenship is bigger than millionaires buying their second or third passport. When she learned that mysterious middlemen had persuaded the Comoro Islands to turn to selling citizenship as a new source of revenue, she decided to follow the money trail to the Middle East. There, she found that officials in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates had bulk-ordered passports for their bidoon, or stateless population, transforming these men, women, and children without countries into Comorian citizens practically overnight. In her timely and eye-opening first book, Abrahamian travels the globe to meet these willing and unwitting "cosmopolites," or citizens of the world, who show us how transactional and unpredictable national citizenship in the twenty-first century can be.

Kuninkaan korva, uskonnollinen vakooja Benjamin Aamoksenpoika on selvinnyt Intian-matkaltaan kuningas Dareioksen eteen. Retkikunta ei ole samanlainen kuin matkan alussa: Benin luotetuin ystävä on kuollut, ja hänen rinnallaan seisoo vääräuskoinen vaimo.Temppeleissä vakoilemaan harjaantunut Ben joutuu Pax Dareioksen aikana maailmaan, jollaiseen yksikään tehtävä ei ole häntä valmistanut. Vallankaappauksella luodussa hovissa kaikki juonittelevat, kaikkia vastaan, jatkuvasti. Dareioksen järjestelmässä kenenkään asema ei ole taattu ja vakoojillakin on varjostajansa. Benin on opittava peli.Hänen on paitsi valittava puolensa hovia jakavassa vallanperimyskiistassa, myös varmistettava jumalalliseen totuuteen vannovien valtaapitävien suosio – joka Beninkin kohdalla perustuu valheelle.Kenen puolelle Benin on asetuttava? Onko lopullinen valta Dareioksella vai kuningatar Atossalla – vai sittenkin kaikkien juonittelijoiden isällä, egyptiläisellä Udza-hor-res-nellä?Atossan kirja on huikea kuvaus muinaisesta Persiasta vaiheessa, jolloin rauha rakentui suvaitsevalle moniarvoisuudelle ja ankaralle kurille.

A city of stories – short, fragmented, amorphous, and at times contradictory – Tehran is an impossible tale to tell. For the capital city of one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East, its literary output is rarely acknowledged in the West. This unique celebration of its writing brings together ten stories exploring the tensions and pressures that make the city what it is: tensions between the public and the private, pressures from without – judgemental neighbours, the expectations of religion and society – and from within – family feuds, thwarted ambitions, destructive relationships. The psychological impact of these pressures manifests in different ways: a man wakes up to find a stranger relaxing in his living room and starts to wonder if this is his house at all; a struggling writer decides only when his girlfriend breaks his heart will his work have depth... In all cases, coping with these pressures leads us, the readers, into an unexpected trove of cultural treasures – like the burglar, in one story, descending into the basement of a mysterious antique collector’s house – treasures of which we, in the West, are almost wholly ignorant.

All you have to do is look... because the warning signs have always been there.How many times have you made a visit to the hospital in the last year?How many pills do you pop for a cold, a cough, or even a headache?How many times have you found yourself anxious, angry, or depressed, with a pressing feeling that the walls are closing in?In your post-modern life, what surrounds you is either artificial or modified to cater to your needs... unfortunately, in a way that ends up being detrimental to your health.Whether it's the air you breathe, the food you eat, the technology you're constantly glued to, or the environment you live in...But you can't abandon these things, right? So how do you free yourself from this modern health curse?By following this old adage: prevention is better than cure.
