TL;DR: Gilles Deleuze's 1990 essay "Les sociétés de contrôle" accurately predicted the shift from disciplinary societies to control societies, marked by the pervasive influence of digital platforms and technology. Deleuze foresaw how power dynamics would evolve with the rise of information technology, leading to a society where control is decentralized, subtle, and interwoven into everyday digital interactions, fundamentally altering how we live and interact.
