“I've always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised tha...” — Elizabeth Hurley Quote

I've always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me.

I've always been obsessed by beef jerky.

We all need to relax more, but I don't find it easy.

I don't want someone to watch sports in bed. That drives me nuts.

The day of the press statement has gone.

It's good to remind intelligence producers and consumers alike about the need to 'warn of emerging conditions, trends, threats and opportunities' and the potential for discontinuities.

Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.

'Triple Agent' is a different kind of read because it is, at its core, a pure narrative, the story of an intelligence operation that unfolds over the course of a year and then goes badly wrong. There's a lot of 'news' in the book, including an account of drone warfare that is as detailed, in my humble opinion, as any in the open-source arena.

I don't think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.
