- Cultures in Orbit Satellites and the Televisual - Lisa Parks
- Energy at the End of the World - Laura Watts
- The Infrastructural South - Jonathan Silver
- How the World Made the West - Josephine Quinn
- The Nutmeg's Curse - Amitav Ghosh

- Dark Skies: Space Expansionism, Planetary Geopolitics, and the Ends of
Humanity - Daniel Deudney

Best,

Niels
