A broad look at sovereignty, the history, development and future of what we call the nation-state, from Homo habilis and our Neandertal cousins to internet trolls and globalization. How will the past incarnations of countries shape the future? Can the status quo of independent nations be maintained? Are we headed for a dark totalitarian future or a tech-friendly uni-culture without borders? Follow along as we trace the development of national sovereignty from our hunter-gatherer roots through the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions to the Age of the Internet and beyond.
