Artificial Islands

In "Artificial Islands," author Owen Hatherley explores the provocative question of whether Britain should forge a new union with its former Dominions: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Published in 2022 by Watkins Media Limited, this thought-provoking paperback spans 345 pages and delves into the complexities of national identity, historical ties, and contemporary geopolitics. Hatherley challenges readers to consider not only the nature of these relationships but also the motivations behind potential unification. Are these nations truly Britain's closest allies, or is the idea of reunion merely a nostalgic fantasy? This engaging examination invites readers to reflect on the past and contemplate the future of these interconnected countries. Ideal for anyone interested in political discourse and international relations, "Artificial Islands" offers a fresh perspective on the ties that bind us across oceans.
