I never particularly wanted to know everything there was to know about Robert J Oppenheimer, but this famous biography was approachable, deep, touching, if a bit over-detailed - and now I do!
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.
