I don't know why contemporary reviewers panned this early verhoeven thriller - I thought it was fun, over the top, goofy, a wild ride - just ignore the terrible last 5 seconds.
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.
