"Someone you can't see is watching you. That idea, long the stuff of feverish dystopian fantasy, is now an unremarkable statement of fact, true in most public places, and true in many that used to be private.

The Inspection House is a remedy for our collective incomprehension of the panopticon, built in our name, that we all now inhabit."--Provided by publisher
