One temporary, mobile panopticon to distract people from all the towering examples everywhere around them in the urbscape. Is not the city now one vast compound eye with its lenses picking up images everywhere?

There is an important character in 1Q84 who digresses about Jung...

Tells a guy about Jung. Who built a stone house separate from his residence for
meditation, reflection. He had to become a stonemason--Swiss law--to do it....took
11 years or more........

He called it the 'Tower" designed to look like village huts he had seen in Africa....

The Golden Bough is everywhere...................
