I feel like I need to re-read these. I was like "am I supposed to know what [REDACTED] is???" and panicked that something had happened in Network Effect that I was supposed to remember. Thankfully, no. You will get an explanation. But still, I want to re-read these in one fell swoop because, like most books I have to wait a year or two for the next book in the series, I forget an awful lot and it takes me a while to remember who's who. I mean, I remember the important characters, like Murderbot and ART. How can anyone forget them?! And this series is always so fun I don't think I'd mind a re-read! Now to only find the time...
