I love andy weir’s irreverent and hilarious first person hard sci-fi stylings (like in the martian), and this is exactly more of the same except also more speculative and epic in scope so - I couldn’t put it down.
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.
