Rated The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy 5/10

As usual, Graeber combines a sharp writing style and acute observations of social practices with a cavalier treatment of historical sources and abstractions. The result is an engrossing book with a few genuinely insightful moments, such as the connection between violence and ignorance in Chapter 1 and the treatment of bureaucratic "big science" in Chapter 2.
