This adaptation of an early Crichton novel is interesting, enjoyable, a bit campy, very 70s sci fi computer worshipy kind of vibe - but the real standout is the eerie Reich-esque soundtrack.
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.
