I read this after watching the movie and the series. I found the occasional joke or bit of slap stick out of place given the tone of the shows and movie. Just not expecting it is all. Otherwise it’s many of the same stories or ideas presented in the show. I actually found reading some more of the political and technical aspects made it a bit easier to follow. An exceptional work.
