The second stage, Agriculture, spread over millennia, and the third stage, Industrial, took centuries. The fourth stage, Information, will happen during a lifetime. The authors foresaw that individuals will be liberated to educate and motivate themselves, allowing genius to flourish. Cyberspace will render race, gender, age, sexual proclivity, and appearance to be unimportant. Cryptocurrency will prompt power-hungry politicians to lie, tax excessively, and print money that causes inflation. The authors foresee an eventual breakdown of nation states. Their final analyses ends with a hope of optimism. This book was written in 1997 and follows their book, The Great Reckoning. I wish they could write a sequel today. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #21,828 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #18 in Future of Computing #30 in Macroeconomics (Foreign Language Books) #38 in Development & Growth Economics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,881) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.12 x 8.44 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0684832720 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0684832722 | | Item Weight | 386 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | August 26, 1999 | | Publisher | Touchstone | ## Images ![The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811BLWk2tcL.jpg) ![The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TZjEy9PAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***E on February 3, 2012* なにか為になることが、書いてあるような印象を受けます。 辞書なしで、読み進めているので「想像力」の訓練になります（笑） イギリスからの船便で、約１２日くらいで届いたように記憶していますが、もっと日にちが掛かったかもしれません。 イギリスから、２５０円の送料で送ってもらえるなんて、有難い世の中になりましたね。 それにしても、どなたかこの本を日本語に翻訳して出版してくれる方はいないものですかね？ 今から１０年以上前に出版されたものなので、やはり無理なんでしょうね。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***M on April 22, 2022* The authors explain that the first stage of society, Hunting and Gathering, worked for eons. The second stage, Agriculture, spread over millennia, and the third stage, Industrial, took centuries. The fourth stage, Information, will happen during a lifetime. The authors foresaw that individuals will be liberated to educate and motivate themselves, allowing genius to flourish. Cyberspace will render race, gender, age, sexual proclivity, and appearance to be unimportant. Cryptocurrency will prompt power-hungry politicians to lie, tax excessively, and print money that causes inflation. The authors foresee an eventual breakdown of nation states.

I wish they could write a sequel today. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***X on August 14, 2023* The headline was content in the book, suggesting that the book will never be popular and that the authors expect not to make any money from the book. Very interesting book, where it gives you a lesson in human history, one that wasn't taught to me in public school, and how life hasn't really changed much in 2000 years, where we still depend upon certain things. The authors explain the principals of life, which is protection from violence and plunder, and how to protect yourself, or determine if the price of protection is too great, and you should move. It compares ideologies such as our Liberal Welfare Democracy to Communism, and how politics come into play. It goes into the concepts of money and how it works. After your learn all this, it tries to predict the future and suggest how you should be aware of using this information to benefit yourself in the future. I saw this book as an extension to Cash Flow Quadrant, but it is not, for I think Robert Kiyosaki should of read this book first before writing Cash Flow Quadrant. At first this book was hard to read, but I got use to the writing style and can now jam through pages with ease. The density of information within the book is very high, small text that covers most of the pages. I'm only 1/2 way through the book, and can't wait to finish it, so I can read my next book. I wish I would have read this book 20 years ago, but I wasn't aware of it's existence. For me, I give this book a 5 star rating, because I can understand the information presented, and actually use it. But you need to be a certain type of person to appreciate this book, for it's not for everyone. This book is meant for one who thinks like a capitalist, someone who is self employed, but an employee would learn a great deal from this book as well, or even one of our politicians in Government. If your looking to take your brain to the next level, figure out why we pay taxes, and understand the concepts of inflation and why our nation state does what it does, then buy this book. Otherwise, pick another book. ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/742181052-the-sovereign-individual-mastering-the-transition-to-the-information-age](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/742181052-the-sovereign-individual-mastering-the-transition-to-the-information-age) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
