If you haven't read "The Sovereign Individual" I'd recommend that as it does give some context about how existing systems fade over time and then are replaced. The Roman Catholic Church rule over the west for example.

There are many items in the book that had me shaking my head thinking, wow these guys saw this coming. For sure.

Brilliant book in terms of it's analysis of the factors that affect balance of power between people and government, but I also think a lot of bitcoiners read too deeply into some of the ideas. I also think many of the predictions of the future are predicated on some vague notion that we will exist in cyberspace.

Yeah, I for sure do not believe it is a good predictor of the future but it makes you think about a few ways things could happen. I like things that make me think in new ways.
