Border (2018)

I appreciate this Swedish film for its uniqueness, both in story (never quite seen a fairy tale concept treated quite like this) and in effects / setting / makeup (you have to watch it to understand), and while the plot sort of left the rails a bit at the end, I am really glad I watched it.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

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.
