Seems almost impossible, but this is a well-researched non-fiction tome about US food production, innovation, and sale that, despite being incredibly informative and detailed, is also profound, deeply philosophical, and often hilarious.
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.
