It is no secret that bureaucracies and auth­ oritarian governments that threaten individual rights are intimately connected. Franz Kafka’s The Trial tells the story of Joseph K and his ordeal with the courts. Jacob Timmerman’s Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number is an account of the bureaucratic repression in Chile under General Pinochet. And no one can forget the power of bureaucracies as described in books such as Hanna Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem or Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, which respectively chronicle the chilling stories of the Nazi and Soviet bureaucracies.
