a cool concept, stripped of all creativity and style, replaced with weird capitalist propoganda, sort of like a diet cheeseburger that you find out is made of plastic only after you eat it.
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.
