Altho pieces of it feel a little dated (pretty common for a near-future sci-fi written more than a decade ago) and the plot is sometimes a bit contrived, the world building and action of this heavy dystopian thriller make it a page turning success.
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.
