The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age Paperback – 26 August 1999

The Sovereign Individual is incredibly prescient for a book written in 1997. Had I read this book in its year of publication, I probably would have dismissed it as an alarmist-elitist rant. But reading it after two decades since its publication, I am quite surprised how accurate many of its prediction are. The authors rightly predicted the role of cyber economy, crypto-currencies, income disparity, automation of low skilled jobs, rise of nationalism & extreme right-wing groups across the globe, rise of neo-luddites and the role of silicon valley entrepreneurs. Although many other events predicted in the book haven't happened yet, I am inclined to agree with most of their views. The main thesis of the book is that, in the twenty-first century, citizens will be more of a customer to governments and governments will act more as a service provider than a political institution. A thought provoking read. Highly recommended

Sovereign Individual is a must read book for anyone who wants to build for the future. A vision from 1997 that's gradually becoming a reality in 2022.

Can't explain how bad the quality of the print, paper or cover is. A 50 rupee fake copy from a road side seller would be miles better than this! I can't fathom the sheer audacity to sell this for 1700 rupees!!

Very poor paper/printing quality for a book that’s priced in excess of INR 1k. And these devious chaps don’t have a return policy covering the same

Over 1000 bucks for a pirated book! Please don’t buy this.

Pirated copy, please don't buy! I got one as a gift and it's pirated and non returnable. Poor quality print

One star not because of the content of the book, but for the quality of the paper and print that feels like a pirated version.

Disappointing experience. I would go to CP if I needed a pirated copy.
