This interpretation of the panopticon and it's effect on behavior is based on Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison. The paperback is reasonably priced. The cost, however, is a trip down the rabbit hole of postmodernism.

On a similar topic, I would highly recommend the book The Birth of the Prison by Michel Foucault. http://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Punish-The-Birth-Prison/dp/...
