agreed, the show really covered up some of what I felt was amateurish character development in the books. I actually put one of the books down for a bit when it occurred to me that itd transitioned to “zombies in space”. I also wasnt too keen on the authors describing the belters as “hezbollah” at one point early in the series. But, at the end I liked them, they passed the time, and I was glad I had read them. Not great works of art, but a good space opera.
All the security folks I’ve worked with have seemed like posers who want to be seen as hackers but can do minor ui tricks at best.
