This short and unique book is a fiercely contemporary prose poem sent to us from soulful depths, and the only other thing i’ll add is that the whimsical lightness of the first half makes a perfect counterpoint to part two.
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.
