Although he has a tendency to wax poetic a bit more than he really needs to, Collins’ description of the NASA programs he flew with and his two pioneering space flights is exhilarating and full of interesting tidbits, with a good sense of humor and a really unique voice.
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.
