Panoptic

Social structure built around a total surveillance state, fostering psychological paranoia, constant tracking, and absolute thought control.

The chilling paranoia of being constantly watched, the struggle for privacy in a world of total transparency, and the psychological toll of absolute thought control. It's the feeling of every word and deed being recorded, judged, and potentially used against you.
