Having enjoyed this series since the first book, it struck me that the main character’s traits were very in line with ASD. I had to see if others thought the same, and found this article that I think summarizes it well.
I think a big part of what makes it work in a good way, is that the author didn’t intend to write an autistic character. She formed it around her own frustrations with society in general and social anxiety.
Has anyone else read the series? What did you think of it?

I love these books so much, my favorite is Network Effect (I love ART very much). I’m really looking forward to the new releases (I think three more books are planned). I also think the main character is very autistic coded, but I read the books specifically because I heard the author is autistic herself, so I had that expectation from the beginning.
Ah, interesting! I didn’t know that about her.
I really enjoyed listening to them as audiobooks, does anyone have recommendations for similar books?
It’s on my read list, as a science fiction novel/series. Interesting observation tho
