In The Utopia of Rules, American anthropologist David Graeber (1961-2020) attempts to expose the ubiquitous but often hidden modern bureaucracy that shapes us all. He locates the origins of the total regulation of social life in the philosophy of the Pythagoreans, who considered "the value of rationality in itself" and devised a way of thinking about the world through which bureaucracy seeks to "transform itself into a grand cosmological scheme". Touching on topics as diverse as the rise of right-wing economists and the hidden meanings of Sherlock Holmes and Batman stories, Utopia Rules combines an insightful look at social theory in the tradition of Marx and Foucault with an entertaining analysis of popular culture that brings to mind Slavoj Žižek at his most accessible.
