Document Summary
Frankopan closes his lengthy argument with the conclusion that eurasia is reemerging as the center of the world. However, with his laser focus on only that one area, he neglects the fact that the human race is moving into a new era of advancement. He is so focused on the idea of. East versus west that he doesn"t consider that the center of the world could"ve moved beyond a physical plane. The evolution of this focal point into a new dimension is an odd concept-there are still world superpowers, but none of them, not even the united states, holds the same power as cyberspace.
