In the winter of 2014, Arundhati Roy met Edward Snowden, along with the actor and writer John Cusack and Daniel Ellsberg, the Snowden of the 1960s. Their conversations touched on some of the great themes of our times the nature of the state, surveillance in an era of perpetual war and the meaning of patriotism. Disturbing, powerful and provocative, this is an extraordinary work.
