Allan Hepburn explores the cultural significance of the spy figure in twentieth-century literature and film. By analyzing works from authors like Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, and John le Carré, the book examines how espionage narratives reflect shifting geopolitical anxieties and the evolution of modern surveillance. This study situates the spy as a central archetype of the era, tracing the intersection of political intrigue, betrayal, and the loss of individual privacy in a globalized world.
