This seven book sci-fi spacey redo of the Horatio Hornblower series was reactionary, predictable, silly, and kind of preachy - and yet for some reason I couldn't put it down and finished the whole thing in 2 weeks.
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.
