I wonder if that great classic, Vance Packard's "The Hidden
Persuaders" is of interest here. When I read it as an architecture
student I was so shocked I refused to design the supermarket that was
the set project, instead designing a remote shopping system that not
only anticipated internet shopping in 1967, but also took me to
cybernetics. Amazon have a stock of it, still in print:
