The History of Secrets

Knowledge is power. Protecting that knowledge, keeping it hidden from prying eyes is an expression and a preservation of that power. It's a constant battle.

In The History of Secrets we'll learn how people have kept secrets hidden in stories of scandal, sex, war, and intrigue. We'll uncover the ingenious technologies humanity invented to keep its most valuable truths under wraps, and in doing so, see how this constant, clandestine battle has shaped our technology, our commerce, and our culture across the millennia.
