The rules say that we start with one and can carry up to five, but I don't see anything for how you actually get more of them.

Card Results sidebar on page 8 of the Learn To Play says that you may draw agenda cards as a quest reward. When a Quest reward has the little "thumbs up in a circle" symbol is when you're allowed to draw an agenda card.

Also: a player is allowed to have 4 agenda cards, not 5 (Agenda Cards section of the Rules Reference)

Also also: every agenda card awards 1 influence PLUS gives you a certain set of prerequisits to gain even more (up to two extra for a total of three per card if memory serves). I know a few people have missed the "always at least one" part.

About agenda cards, tonight one player had two identical cards which would have given him the win, ie. each card gave him 4+ influence in a four player game... is it legit to use the same card twice if you got them?

Yes it is legal. When I play solo I rely on getting 2-3 of those cards to gain the 11 I need to win.

ok, thanks Ventor. I do agree with earlier cricism on the end game and winning, it's kinda sneakily and can be kinda anticlimatic... but on the other hand, we had a quest in play which would have made a grand ending (boom), should someone had chosen to complete it. ?
