The kids are super cute as they walk about their lil 3 year old errands but it was impossible for me to forget that there are multiple cameramen following them close behind, everywhere they go - rendering the entire concept of little kids running their first errands on their own utterly meaningless.
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.
