Looks very interesting. I am currently reading "Seeing Like a State," which approaches the same/similar idea about using abstractions to interact with the world but focusing on governments historically. There is also the documentary "Hypernormalizaton" which has a similar idea about how the US government is completely (criminally) incompetent because the models it creates of the world are too simple. All of it reminds me of this phrase (which I hear from data scientists): "All models are wrong, some models are useful."
