I made it two thirds through out of a deep loyalty to DeWitt but the problem with post-post-modern metafiction that never coheres is that after hundreds of pages of it you’re just completely lost and bored.
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.
