I don't know about "stole". It strike me that it has been kicking around sf
in one guise or another for an awful long time as part of the discussion on
the idea that "They" (or God) can see everything you are doing (as in
"1984").
What about DG Compton, Norman Spinrad & Philip Dick? And even (humorously)
Isaac Asimov and (in his one book that is much good) Piers Anthony?
Probably goes all the way back to Jeremy Bentham....
