Snow Leopard’s Den is a story about a man, Edwin Snorden, who releases details about how the NSA has been spying both in the United States and overseas. Nothing can be trusted to be what it appears to be - less than ever before. There is hence no room for any character, agency, or world leader to escape from being mocked at.
