"In a brief but influential text from 1990 ["Postscript on Control Societies," first noted in a note from '06] Gilles Deleuze [...] outlined the emergence of what he called 'societies of control,' in which the institutional regulation of individual and socail life proceeded in ways that were continuous and unbounded"
"a control society, according to Deleuze, was characterized by the disappearance of gaps, of open spaces and times"
Deleuze suggests that as these emerge, the classic "disciplinary" forms of power will "disappearor become superseded," but Crary pushes back on this, noting that "the use of harsh physical confinement is greater today than at any time previously, in an expanding network of [...] prisons. [Deleuze's] evocation of open, amorphous spaces is belied by the brutal deployment of walled borders and closed frontiers, both of which strategically target specific populations and regions"
