we live in a society by Gabriel Winint

this essay, which can be found at https://nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/we-live-in-a-society, is a very long, detailed, and well thought out look at the state of political organizing in relation to contemporary social groups and networks, though it has a very difficult and off-putting digression into theory in the middle sections.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

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.
