I’m actually a well-known author and this is a pseudonym.

This really isn’t that crazy of an idea though.

Read “The Sovereign Individual” by Davidson & Mogg. Written in 1999/2000.

Thanks for the recommendation. Having skimmed the book, yes, it would be fantastic to give the material the same treatment Paul Verhoeven gave to Starship Troopers specifically in its reappraised interpretation.

I think that a Sovereign Individual movie made today would likely be a documentary… we are so close to the reality portrayed in that book
