Show Notes
The intelligence community looks less like a spy movie and more like a sprawling Silicon Valley office park. This episode explores the sheer human scale of agencies like the NSA and GCHQ, from the "company town" economies they create to the "digital monastery" work environment where phones are forbidden. We dig into the massive contractor workforce, the struggle to recruit Gen Z tech talent, and how Israel’s Unit 8200 functions as a national economic engine.
