About this listen

Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Anthony Vinci — author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of espionage and the Battle to Save America — for a mind-bending look at the future of espionage beyond Earth. From the British Empire’s Great Game to the new space race, exploration and intelligence have always gone hand in hand. Vinci explains how the world’s oldest profession — spying — is evolving into a multi-planetary mission. Satellites now map and monitor the globe in real time; private companies launch fleets of micro-sensors; and entire intelligence budgets are shifting from sea level to low-Earth orbit. But as SpaceX builds spy constellations, China lands probes on the far side of the Moon, and the U.S. Space Force becomes America’s newest intelligence agency, one question looms: who will control the high ground of the heavens? From lunar reconnaissance to asteroid mining, Vinci argues that the next front line of intelligence won’t be on Earth — it’ll be above it. Because wherever humanity goes, spies follow. The truth is out there. Literally.
