Loss is gain if it is possible to deconstruct what remains behind, to rebuild anew. Can the Sovereign Citizen survive the evaporation of humanity and the collapse of all nations into him, the sole survivor? He can. But first he must overcome the grief of trauma and discard the need for answers. More will be out there for him as the reconstruction evolves. He must see the story of humanity, self and civilization through what is absent once there is nothing left to study. There can be no evolution until nothingness is given meaning.
Solitude is the first volume of the Sovereign Citizen’s journey to leave behind the competition of civilization for the cooperation of survival. It will take him through empty streets and suffering before he can emerge with new partners to rebuilt humanity. But the struggle of survival will be difficult and unclear until it is clear.
