I’m sad to say that this series is starting to feel a little stale for me; the characters more static, the situations more contrived - this novel was still fun and exciting in the second half, but mostly annoying and stressful in the first.
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.
