I cannot stress enough how enthralled I was by this 6 hour BBC miniseries remake of a Le Carre novel - if you like thrillers, spy stuff, intrigue, great acting, or Dr House MD, you owe it to yourself to check this out.
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.
