It's a guy who got kidnapped and thrown in this city where there is high technology and is controlled by an evil man. It's up to him to break the system and make the evil man surrender.
I read a book in high school called The Alliance that discussed pervasive digital surveillance in a dystopia. I think it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Alliance-Gerald-Lund/dp/0875791603 . It starts slowly but gets better as I recall.
Reminds me of The Alliance by Gerald Lund. Pretty soon we'll all be implanted with these things to inhibit bad behavior like over-eating, unsightly public acts of nasal cleansing, or being stupid.
