if you can look past questionable (ok let's be honest, crazy and over the top and probably insulting) depictions of Chinese culture, this is most certainly a fun silly capsule of late 80s John Carpenter nonsense and a good drunk movie to watch with the buds.
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.
