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 Review: Best book I read in 2021 - 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. ## Features - Physical Condition: No Defects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,160 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #38 in Economic Policy & Development #41 in Macroeconomics (Books) #49 in Economic Conditions (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,916 Reviews | ## Images ![The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811BLWk2tcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!! *by N***K on 6 November 2016* The Sovereign Individual is incredibly prescient for a book written in 1997.

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!! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age - The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves (P.s.) - Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (Incerto) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/76801100-the-sovereign-individual-mastering-the-transition-to-the-information-age](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/76801100-the-sovereign-individual-mastering-the-transition-to-the-information-age) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
