You probably get the appropriate impression from the title--this to me feels like Tau trying really hard to make waves and spook the spooks but only succeeds in making himself look like a schizophrenic. Tau spooks himself with make believe spooks that the spooks love to know have people like Tau under complete big thumb and whatnot. A lot of the "salient info" here is totally circumstantial and inferred, hence the charge of make-believe. What afforded so much success to Snowden was the unequivocal nature of his exposure--here practically everything past the first third of the novel could be dismissed via plain repeat denial. What Tau presents as concrete evidence is sparse and already more or less public knowledge. And what's worse is the lazy prose and a half-baked attempt at journalistic narrativization. Comes across mostly as free association with the connectives being towering paragraphs of extremely dense technical jargon. Worth reading maybe, just maybe not through traditional print hint hint wink wink.
