I read 100 pages of "The Sovereign Individual" on the plane. I consider it as motivation for us. By "us," I mean those who believe in the concept of "sovereign individuals."
This book is quite difficult to read, and there are many parts that I didn't understand. If you are not familiar with Western history and geopolitics, it becomes even harder to grasp the details in the book. However, setting aside the intricacies, the core message of this book can be summarized in a few sentences.
The author makes a bold prediction in the book that goes beyond its time. They believe that a new information age is approaching, and information technology will empower individuals like never before. The rigid shell of national sovereignty, representing the violent machinery of the state, will be shattered. Individuals will transcend geographical boundaries, cultures, races, and ideologies, becoming a new kind of humanity. Their creative, productive, and economic rights will no longer be controlled by territories. They will possess the greatest level of independence in history. They will also be able to transcend time and space, freely forming communities to achieve certain goals and fulfill certain visions. This is why the book is titled "The Sovereign Individual."
The first edition of "The Sovereign Individual" was completed in 1997. Looking back from the year 2023, more than 20 years later, the world has not developed according to the author's predictions. The violent machinery of states continues to evolve, centralized powers continue to expand, and geopolitical conflicts are even escalating. In the preface to the 2020 edition of the book, Peter Thiel mentioned that the changes in Hong Kong indicate a blind spot in the book's authors' understanding of China. They once described Hong Kong as "a mental model, a jurisdictional model that will thrive in the information age." They were wrong.
However, we should not be mere spectators, treating all of this as a spectacle and then judging whether they were "right" or not. We should cherish the inspiration that this book gives us and strive to practice and shape it, making our visions of the future come true.
