the china syndrome (1979)

I'd heard that this jane fonda thriller was anti-nuclear propaganda, but after watching it I'm here to say that it's not - it's anti-greed, anti-human corruption, a fascinating time capsure, a riveting account of what it's like to get on the wrong side of a powerful corporation, but more than anything, it's a great film.

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.
