If you live in a Fishbowl, the fishermen can see you, catch you and put you right in the frying pan.
You are in a transparent world where "Big Brother" not only can see everything you do and every move you make–but randomly take everything you have. The hook is pretty well set and the harder you flip and flop the more embedded it becomes.
The only hope you have is to "turn out the lights" and/or become an invisible fish. This can be done with attention and effort. You can actually change your stripes and gain personal transparency to a large extent by changing your name to N. Corporation. You can salvage what you might have in wealth by taking some measures as outlined within this journal–cut the line and release the hook.
