Finished this novel by @samitbasu@mastodon.social on the backdrop of Indian PM Narendra Modi visiting Macron for Bastille Day celebrations. Fitting, really, when in France there's talks of generalized surveillance of the population (like the ability for the police to unlock your phone to record people).
