Time travel in novels works best as poetry (nothing explained, vibes only) or as hard sci-fi (intensely careful plotting, solid internally consistent rules) - whereas this loose handwavy mix of jargon and clutter made no sense, and was totally unsatisfying.
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.
