"it's so good and such a relief after struggling through bits of pynchon" is what i texted a sis after reading this - months later, i am still amazed by how rooney found words for some of those awkward-toxic-real feels i've felt but have never really voiced
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
