ABOUT THIS SESSION

How did Edward Snowden change the landscape of espionage storytelling? In this thought-provoking discussion, Mark Greaney leads a panel of thriller writers exploring how revelations about surveillance, intelligence agencies, and government secrecy reshaped the way political espionage is written. The authors examine how real-world events influence fictional spy narratives and how modern thrillers reflect an era of global surveillance and shifting trust.
