The world of international politics has recently been rocked by a seemingly endless series of scandals involving auditory surveillance: the NSAs warrantless wiretapping is merely the most sensational example of what appears to be a universal practice today. What is the source of this generalized principle of eavesdropping?

All Ears: The Aesthetics of Espionage traces the long history of moles from the Bible, through Jeremy Benthams panacoustic project, all the way to the intelligence-gathering network called Echelon. Together with this archeology of auditory surveillance, Szendy offers an engaging account of spycrafts representations in literature (Sophocles, Shakespeare, Joyce, Kafka, Borges), opera (Monteverdi, Mozart, Berg), and film (Lang, Hitchcock, Coppola, De Palma).

Following in the footsteps of Orpheus, the book proposes a new concept of overhearing that connects the act of spying to an excessive intensification of listening. At the heart of listening Szendy locates the ear of the Other that manifests itself as the originary division of a split-hearing that turns the drive for mastery and surveillance into the death drive.
