About the book
A provocative and prescient analysis by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg of how technology and globalization are transforming state power and redefining individual sovereignty. Published in the 1990s, the book offers a heterodox view of cryptography, privacy, the digital economy, and resistance to government control, anticipating trends that have become even more relevant.
