touch of evil (1958)

I know this international detective thriller is famous for welles’s amazing camerawork, but it’s also an interesting, arresting, touching story, in a sort of masculine cop drama kind of way.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

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.
