A worthy entrant in the Vorkosigan saga (even tho there’s hardly a Vorkosigan in it) with plenty of relatable good guys, hate-able bad ones, and interesting genetic hijinks to boot.
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.
