I'll set aside the usual commentary on Adam Curtis just to highly recommend this article by Adam Gopnik on the utter futility/uselessness of spying https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/09/02/are-spies-more-trouble-than-theyre-worth https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/09/02/are-spies-more... it's damn-well convincing.
