Swainston's second book and second entry in this series is engaging, interesting, sexy, exciting, and weird, altho she still suffers from an overindulgence in lengthy descriptions and made up fantasy names.
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.
