With sharp wit, Westlake critiques the mechanisms of power and the human condition, inviting readers to reflect on their own realities. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking narrative challenges perceptions of freedom and autonomy in an increasingly monitored society. Discover the intricacies of existence in a world where every move is watched.
