I think Harlan Coben tells us why he was initially repelled by the invasion of privacy in paragraph 1 of The Undercover Parent. He tells us Americans in general are suspicious of anything that hints at invasion of privacy. He also associates it with Dick Cheney sitting in a dark room, rubbing his hands together, and reading your most private thoughts. Even the name spyware makes you feel like you are being watched. If this was around when I was a teenager, I would have been livid that my parents would use that. It would have been a big battle that I know doubt would have lost.
Considering I did not have the internet when I was a teenager, the closest thing I can relate to is was taking my father’s playboy magazine and hiding in my room
