While Bentham's design was ostensibly for a prison, he believed that any number of places that require supervision—factories, poorhouses, hospitals, and schools—would benefit from such a design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham at his word. In his groundbreaking 1975 study, \u003ci\u003eDiscipline and Punish\u003c\/i\u003e, the panopticon became a metaphor to describe the creeping effects of personalised surveillance as a means for ever-finer mechanisms of control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForty years later, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Shopping malls, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Inspection House\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour through several of these sites—from Guantánamo Bay to the Occupy Oakland camp and the authors' own mobile devices—providing a stark, vivid portrait of our contemporary surveillance state and its opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Maly\u003c\/b\u003e is a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eWired\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eAtlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUrban Omnivore\u003c\/i\u003e and is a 2014 fellow at Harvard University's Metalab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Horne\u003c\/b\u003e is the designer and photographer of the webcomic \u003ci\u003eA Softer World\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850135916780,"sku":"9781552453018","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1281120c3813b6d93a53f7dd97622ea6.jpg?v=1759107941"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/emily-horne.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
