Edenet
Edenet by Kit Sun Cheah
Singularity Sunrise book 1, but while the potential for future stories was built in, it does work on its own.
Morgan, a psychic in a heavily cyberpunk, balkanized world, is retrieving stolen goods in Aztlan, but force becomes necessary when the other side tries to extort more.
In the aftermath, he is brought on an effort to deal with the defection of a Chinese scientist from Poland back to China and the knowledge she has. (Edenet being the project she worked on.) It gets complicated. It involves a tie invested with psychic energy, Morgan's ability to detect lies, social credit scores, malware and scans against it, a significant psychic on the other side, and more.
