I've finished: Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson
First of all, this is a wonderful mystery, lead by an amateur detective. Her flaws and awkward pursuit of the truth are what kept me glued to this novel.
While this is a novel about an alien embassy to earth, it is more a study of human culture than alien culture.
A climate change destabilized humanity deals badly with the soft power of an alien embassy's cultural attache.
Robson contrasts the aliens that are disinterested in digital media and humanity that is consumed by it. The telepathic aliens that find it hard to lie and obfuscate and the humans that can't stop.
