great book - congrats and thanks
that's what most people (even here in the space) haven't figured out yet, perhaps simply because they've been in it for too long
(yes, that sentence can make sense):
"By removing one´s physical body from the economic space first by blinding in the Cyphernet, the possibility of violence is banished. By removing one´s identity from the agreement, none of the current relations of legal power can find their footing, nor the violence that would ultimately enforce such legal power can exist."
This is stiil a fckin long way to go
I wish that newbies could not only understand this from the outset, but also put it into practice straight away.
But there is still a huge problem:
you call it the "Übermensch" of the digital era.
"Only a person so humble as not to speak their name, so gracious as to not claim their fame, so powerful as to refuse even a satoshi of the greates fortune on Earth could have accomplished a task as great as Bitcoin."
this is to say: removing one´s body = removing one´s ego !
This is completely unfamiliar to the vast majority of people.
For most people, the ego is inseparable from their physical self.
You send pictures from the gym every week ...
They trumpet their bio-data to the world.
Drawing self-confidence from a nym ... we are still a long way from that.
And this also applies to many from the space, who have probably already understood the power of cryptography.
Either way, your book will certainly help us to move forward on this path.

"... we see the digital cages and open-air concentration camps being formed around us. It is a reality where each one of us will be ascribed digital signatures which chains each of us to data to enable a Kafkaesque reality - a total surveillance state."
We are in the middle of an arms race where one party is 100% on the job and 90% of the other party is planning their next vacation.
"Thus in Italy, as everywhere else, there exist a united and invisible political world of predators, sucking the country dry in the name of the state and, for the greater benefit of the latter, reducing the former to an extreme degree of poverty and desperation."
1873
Bakunin
"Thus it is unquestionable that the Slaves, on their own initiative, never formed a state. They did not do so because they were never a conquering nation. Only conquering peoples create states, and they create them purely for their own benefit, at the expense of the peoples they have subjugated."
"But states do not topple of their own accord; they can only be toppled by a multi-national multy-racial, world-wide social revolution."
"The Germans have never needed liberty. To them life is simply inconceivable without government, that is, without a supreme will and thought and an iron hand to order them about. The stronger the hand the prouder they are and the more cheerful life becomes for them."
"Take the individual. If an idea does not already exist within him as a vital instinct, and as a more or less clear concept which serves, as it were, as the first reflection of that instinct, you will never explain it to him or get him to understand it."
as I said: he sounds like a bitcoiner, 1874.
o.k., and what idea ?
"Anarchy, meaning the free and independent organization of all parts of the community and their voluntary federation from below upward."
