The geopolitics of the sea. The history of the human race has never truly been written in the dust; it has been etched in the salt spray.
Five centuries before the common era, as the shadow of the Persian Empire stretched across the Aegean, the Athenian general Themistocles realized a truth that remains the fundamental gravity of our modern world: "He who commands the sea, commands all." He understood that the land is a fortress, but the sea is a lever.
From the bronze-beaked triremes of Athens to the silent, nuclear-powered leviathans of the twenty-first century, the ocean has never been a "void" or a "gap" between meaningful places. It is the world’s primary highway of capital, the ultimate graveyard of empires, and the final, lawless site of human ambition.
We live in a state of "sea blindness." We enjoy the fruits of a globalized world while ignoring the machinery that delivers it. Today, roughly 90% of global trade moves by water. The smartphone in your pocket, the fuel in your car and the grain in your silo likely crossed a dozen time zones in the belly of a megaship.
