I thought a continuation of the last two books in this saga would be enthralling and I was wrong - this third book is just talking, talking, this person goes here, talks to that one. then goes there, all they do is talk, I realized I didn’t care.
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.
