Big Brother Is Watching: National Book Festival 2020

About

Barton Gellman, "Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State" (Penguin), appears in conversation with Thomas Rid, "Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation and Political Warfare" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), and Washington Post columnist and spy novelist David Ignatius (moderator), "The Paladin: A Spy Novel" (Norton). Gellman's narrative of the modern surveillance state is based on unique access to Edward Snowden and groundbreaking reportage, while Rid's revelatory and dramatic history of disinformation traces the rise of operations from before World War II to contemporary internet troll farms. In contrast, Ignatius's novel, "The Paladin," treats a daring, high-tech CIA operation that goes wrong and is disavowed, setting an agent on revenge.
