Master Spies Die Laughing is just fiction, right? None of that stuff in the book is really true, is it? Like the title of the book, the answer to that is a bit muddled. Although loosely based on certain events and characters I have known, the story line is mostly made up, but the settings, spy agencies, tools and techniques, spyware and discussions about certain cloak and dagger operations are all true. Every last word. Including the details on the massive data bases and personal data collection systems being set up and manipulated by your government. |
