When Soviet and Chinese archives were briefly opened, historians like Stephen Kotkin and Frank Dikötter were able to dismantle decades of Western romanticism about those revolutions using internal documents. North Korea is still a complete black box. Do you think its archives will ever be opened—or might the regime have learned the lesson from those historical revelations and destroy the records before anyone can see them? Will the world ever actually learn, with granular detail, what really happened inside the regime?

Michael Malice, love the podcast and I enjoyed The White Pill and Dear Reader tremendously. Would you consider tackling the behind the scenes operators that shape policy around the world in your next work? You know, the ones the average Joe never hears of till they make a mistake.
