how could he not have referred to bentham's _panopticon_ [1], which outlined a system where everyone believes they may be watched at any time, and the watchers are also "wide open to the body of the curious at large"?
In fact, Brin does refer to the Panopticon later in the book, _The Transparent Society_. The link I posted is just Chapter 1 of the book.
