At times incredibly funny, at times way too awkward for my sensibilities, and ending up in a confusing place that I appreciated for not quite landing on any particular moral judgment.
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.
