Given your choice of subject for critique, and style, you might enjoy Homo Sacer by Agamben.

It’s actually a slightly more radical critique in that it completely reframes the function and structure of sovereignty and law as that of determining a state of exclusion from the body politic vs. an inclusive set of mandates.

It takes Foucaultian biopolitics and then pushes further until it’s turned inside out.
