COERCION by Douglas Rushkoff
In a nutshell, people are conditioned to regard others as 'marks' and someone always has a thermometer stuck up your ass collecting data about you.
Rushkoff's book examines all the ways coercion and manipulation happen. Adolf Hitler got his ideas from Dale Carnegie. PC is the spawn of Carnegie, too.
The flipside of Carnegie is Watson and Skinner conditioning. Fuck up at work and you'll get an electric shock like maze rats get. After GM and Disney has your money they dont hand out gold stars, you get shocked if you have a question or complaint or want a refund.
