Didn’t know much about this classic sci-fi series going into it, and at first I was asking myself if this book influenced star trek or vice versa, but about halfway thru it turns up the difficulty, intensity, and depth significantly and just never looks back, it honestly ends up being a very satisfying novel, transcends its genre with ease, really just an all-round winner.
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.
