This 70s spy classic is a standout hit for its memorable characters, stylish hero, and for its masterful depiction of cold war confusion and intrigue, but it definitely reads like it was written a long time ago.
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.
