It wasn't deep, altho it did have some interesting class analysis going on... it was very silly and frequently hilarious, altho it did have some serious and dark moments... most of all it was just different, which is all I can ever really ask.
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.
