Surveillance, Spying, & Espionage

Building off our last episode we dive deeper into the history of espionage. We talk about how spying has developed over the years and the relationship with the state. We talk about intelligence gathering and how it has becoming something completely different in light of the security state. We discuss the rise of the all seeing eye of the government as well as the need to confess online. We muse what happens when the government doesn’t need to spy anymore because everything is already shared, tweeted, and tagged.
