You know like when you're stroking a cat and it suddenly decides it doesn't want to be stroked anymore and it scratches you? How do we harvest the revolutionary potential of that?

    I'm currently like a third through The American Trap by Frédéric Pierucci. The author is a French energy executive who was arrested on corruption charges as part of an American scheme for American companies to take over the French energy market.

    It's so far fine, the prose is pretty amateurish since the guy isn't a writer, and he's spending a ton of time detailing his prison conditions and the complexities of his corruption case. I'm really waiting for him to uncover the American scheme described in the summary since that's the obviously juicy shit.
