A few of the first stories in this collection are really special, and some of the last few are really cool and weird, and the whole thing has a lovely borgesian flair, but also this is really a collection of unfinished ideas as much as it is a collection of stories.
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.
