The perfect, grimy attention to detail in these late 60s / early 70s time capsules like Shampoo is so much more engaging and rewarding than whatever today's glossy meme-ified and boardroom designed hits are trying to do.
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.
