The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

I think this is my third read thru this dense, complex sci-fi mystery, so you can tell I like it, and tho its complexity gets a little messy at times, its pace and panache make for great entertainment, and I love anything “prisoner’s dilemma”- themed.

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.
