Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
A novel all about gaining knowledge through observation and yet relying entirely on luck. NOT the action spy novel like many others describe. It is cool, however, filled with regular espionage between governments, protest groups, rogue organizations, and email leaks. In fact it’s more about a lady walking around doing nothing but talking to leaders, getting their information then using it against them. And checking emails. Lots of interesting emails. Highly recommend! - Spenser
