In short
Sam Esmail is an American screenwriter and director. In the Agency editorial his name occurs only in Edição.0, the Portuguese version of Issue.0; the English text of Issue.0 does not contain the passage. There, in a paragraph about observation and intuition, the author cites the film Leave the World Behind (2023) as produced by Barack Obama and directed by Sam Esmail, whom he calls a genius, and says the character G. H. Scott gives a clue about what it means to understand patterns in society, the economy and culture. The name is repeated as the credit of the film's recommendation box.
