I learned a lot about the day-to-day lives of young adults in south east Chinese cities. Their dreams, norms, expectations, struggles, and loves. Very glad I read.

The audio play was very good, but not as great as the novel. I would have preferred an unabridged reading of the novel, including narration. Having different actors for each character's voice was a nice feature, though.

Best Work on State's Vision and Reshaping Forces

Overall

Performance

Story

One of the best works in politics, society, and anthropology. Clearly describes and illustrates the relationship between the State and the society it both rules and is embedded in.

Discusses the forces of social organisation both implemented by the State and naturally evolving outside the State, and describes how the State reshapes society to better coincide with its methods of seeing society.

If you liked this, you'll like Bureaucracy by Ludwig von Mises (examination of the forces behind bureaucracy's behavior - cf Public Choice theory). Also read more James C Scott - Two Cheers For Anarchy (the good in Anarchy) and Against The Grain (the development of States with that of agriculture).

Very good for centering yourself going into the day. Short, directed, and refreshing morning meditations.
