panoptic

Panoptic describes something that sees or encompasses everything at once, offering a complete and comprehensive view.

The word appears most often in discussions of surveillance and social control, particularly in reference to the panopticon—a prison design where guards can observe all inmates without being seen themselves.

Philosopher Michel Foucault used panoptic to describe modern systems of power that monitor behavior through the mere possibility of being watched.

The city's panoptic network of cameras made residents uneasy.
