## Resource

Brett, Thomas, and Steven have a comprehensive discussion of the 1998 Tony Scott film Enemy of the State, a movie with an underrated amount of conspiratorial significance. Scott is among the all-time best examples of intimate Hollywood/DC collaborations, and the film is the paradigmatic instance of predictive programming, for both 9/11 and the rise of the surveillance state. We have one of our most in-depth discussions of revelation of the method and cover how the movie functioned as a demoralization tool, both for the general public and potential whistleblowing insiders.
