By almost every datapoint you can imagine, we are living in the safest and best time in recorded human history. The "Information Age" is liberating individuals like never before. However, this transition will bring friction. We are transitioning to the fourth (and final phase) of human civilization and that is the Information Age, particularly, in the Metaverse.
Cyberspace will bring opportunities to people all across the world who previously didn't have the same opportunities in the industrialized world. The "tyranny of place" - that is, of physical location - is about to end the nation-state as we know it.
The Sovereign Individual explores the social and financial consequences of this revolutionary change. Unlike the Agricultural Revolution, the Information Revolution will not take millennia to do its work. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, its impact will not be spread over centuries.
The Information Revolution will happen within a lifetime.
When information societies take shape they will be as different from industrial societies as the Greece of Aeschylus was from the world of the cave dwellers.
