Exploring the interplay between government secrecy and the aesthetic of the sublime, this work examines how post-War American art, film, television, and fiction reflect themes of surveillance on a grand scale. Potolsky argues that these depictions reveal deeper insights into the nature of modern intelligence, highlighting the tension between individual perception and vast governmental power. The analysis offers a fresh perspective on contemporary representations of authority and control in society.
