A "spy hunting" report is always exciting. Four reporters worked on the piece which brought forward... nothing. But a small part said a lot about the #surveillance we live in.

"We later obtained a second number which we were told was also for Luka - this time registered in Syria and linked to social media and messaging apps which he appeared to be still using.
Over a period of a day, the BBC was able to locate him in two suburban areas on the outskirts of the Russian capital, #Moscow.
The locations seemed far removed from the luxurious lifestyle #Assad is reported to be leading in exile in #Russia, and to the life Luka himself once led in #Syria."
Just some questions: Which tools the reporters used to track "over a period of a day" Husam Luka?
These tools are private, in the service of #BBC or state agents'?
Is there any journalist who can follow the story?#journalism #trackingEverything #spystories #surveillanceCapitalism #media #spyware

Is this the perfect spy story?
Intriguing characters with complex and never obvious relationships and histories, great plot and dialogues.Reading it feels like a full immersion in a different time and place.
First part of a trilogy. I can't wait to read the others!

📰 Rui Lopes publicou um ensaio no @Publico sobre a literatura de ficção de espionagem, em particular sobre "O Agente Secreto" (1907), de Joseph Conrad, e o impulso que este livro deu ao género literário na viragem para o século XX.

Ah, yet another riveting tale of ancient gizmos that once whispered sweet nothings to spies! 🎩🔍 Let's all gather 'round the campfire to reminisce about dust-covered cipher machines that, shockingly, predate TikTok! 📜✨ Because nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like a 1940s decoder ring. 🙄
