Interesting sci-fi novel clearly converted from a series of shorts, interesting from emotional/character perspective and well written (short, packing a punch), some questionable setup elements and a terrible epilogue.
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.
