I think there are a lot of people for whom this dramatic thriller-type light sci-fi story would really work, as it has some interesting and interestingly broken characters and a satisfyingly twisty story - but for me it was a bit overwrought, a bit cheesy, and as a result never fully captured me.
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.
