Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (Foucault)

'''Foucault, Michel. Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison.''' Alan Sheridan, trans. New York: Pantheon, 1977.

MF cites Jeremy Bentham's plan for an ideal prison, the Panopticon, in which the prisoner is constantly subject to surveillance; the motif of constant surveillance is very important in dystopian fiction where the world, in a sense, becomes a prison.
