Though it may seem like mindless entertainment, spy fiction isn’t just about gadgets, secret codes or daring escapades. Rather, it’s a mirror for the world’s biggest fears. From 19th century diplomacy to today’s espionage, the genre has evolved alongside global conflicts, shifting power dynamics and the anxieties that shadow them. Every twist, betrayal and covert mission reveals something deeper — what societies dread, how they interpret danger and how they try to grasp control over the uncontrollable. In many ways, the evolution of the espionage thriller is a record of our collective fears written in ink and, now, on the big screen.

As a California native, I made the bold — and perhaps regrettable — decision to apply to colleges somewhere with seasons.

As my homesickness began to reach its peak in conjunction with the start of the holiday season, I found myself recalling even the most inconsequential details of my life back home in the U.S. with some sympathy. Even Washington, D.C.’s infamous Beltway called out to me with its siren song of car horns and exhaust, and I was instantly brought back to the iconic “Welcome to Virginia” sign underlined by the state’s travel slogan: “Virginia is for Lovers.”

The Center for Peace Communications joined via Zoom to help translate and later share Al-Natour’s story with wider audiences. About 45 students and community members attended. Many told me afterward that they heard perspectives they had never encountered before. That reaction alone made the event worth hosting.
