Memoirs Found in a Bathtub by Stanislaw Lem (the movie Solaris is based on his book for a more mainstream name.) I admit I actually listened to the audio book version of this when I used to work overnights alone. Since then he's one of my favorite authors.
It's about a guy who wanders into a hermetically sealed building who gets wrapped up in a bureaucratic conspiracy between two agencies of fighting spies, the building and the "anti" building. As the main character tries to figure out what his instructions actually are (he's deemed with a VERY important mission he's told) as he's led into a dizzying array of unhelpful characters with more sinister motivations 😂
I like it mainly because it's a metaphor for the absurdity of the cold war's paranoia and red baiting schemes but it also is about many other subjects.

And the spiral nebulae?! Well?! Don’t tell me you don’t know what that means! SPY-ral!! and the expanding universe, the retreating galaxies! Where are they going? What are they running from? And the Doppler shift to the red!! Highly suspicious--no, more! A clear admission of guilt!!
