I slept on this 70s classic for years because I didn’t know anything about it (and thought it was about motorcycles, which, not really) so I’m late to the party but can certainly add to the chorus - it’s stone-cold genius and just so beautiful and inspiring.
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.
