Read 100 pages of "The Sovereign Individual" on the plane. I consider it as motivation for us. By "us," of course, I mean those who believe in "The Sovereign Individual."
This book is quite obscure to read, and there are many parts that I didn't understand. If you are not familiar with Western history and geopolitics, it's even harder to grasp the details in the book. But putting aside the details, the core content of this book can be summarized in a few sentences.
The author makes a bold prediction beyond the times in this book. They believe that a new information age is coming, and information technology will empower individuals like never before. The hard shell of national sovereignty, representing the violent machinery, will be broken. Individuals will transcend geographical boundaries, cultures, races, and ideologies to become a new kind of humanity. Their creative, productive, and economic rights will no longer be controlled by territories. They will have the greatest independence in history. They can also transcend time and space, freely form communities, and work towards a goal or realize a vision. This is also why the book is called "The Sovereign Individual."
The first edition of "The Sovereign Individual" was completed in 1997. Looking back from 2023, more than 20 years later, the world has not developed as predicted by the book's authors. The violent machinery of states continues to evolve, centralized power continues to expand, and geopolitical conflicts are even escalating. In the preface to the 2020 reissue of the book, Peter Thiel said that the changes in Hong Kong illustrate the blind spots of the book's authors when it comes to 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, put it into practice, and shape the future according to our imagination.
