I may not be the most qualified to write this review but I can certainly say that despite this being a bit more dramatic than the kind of entertainment I usually look for, I was hooked from minute 1 and loved every bit of 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.
