not only is this a great second entry in the series (dumb title and slightly jumpy action sequences aside), but if you manage to follow the twists and turns of the plot it really does almost cohere at the end.
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.
