The text details Edward Snowden's security paranoia in a hotel room, specifically his use of a 'magical cloak of power' (a red blanket) to hide his passwords. It describes the filming of the documentary 'Citizenfour' by Laura Poitras and a specific introduction between Snowden and journalist Ewen MacAskill, who had been sent by an editor named Gibson to verify Snowden's identity.
