Simon Willmetts is Universitair Hoofddocent Intelligence Studies bij het instituut Security and Global Affairs. Hij is een cultuurhistoricus met interesse in de geschiedenis van geheimhouding, inlichtingen, toezicht en digitale privacy. Zijn onderzoek richt zich op de bredere sociale en culturele impact van geheime inlichtingendiensten en hun activiteiten. In zijn eerste boek, In Secrecy’s Shadow: The OSS and CIA in Hollywood Cinema (2016), onderzoekt hij het ineenstorten van het publieke vertrouwen in de overheid in de periode na de Tweede Wereldoorlog door de lens van naoorlogse spionagefilms. Meer recent is hij geïnteresseerd geraakt in de manier waarop hedendaagse dystopische fictie het debat over digitale privacy interpreteert en vormt. Doorkiesnummer: 7670.
