Panopticism

Foucault wrote “Panopticism”. This was not only a weird read, but also by far the most difficult. I found myself having to basically read line by line, then go back and read it again because it was so hard. While I got the basic understanding of the essay, the way it was written and some of his ideas were a little far fetched for me. I understand the idea of big brother and governments control over people, without really controlling them. The idea that you “might” be being watched is probably pretty valid, but he gets pretty out there.
