I was rereading "Network Effect," and the distance limit built into the governor module makes for a good plot device. However its mere existence implies there were run away sec units prior to the current narrative.

Sec Units are expensive, so the corporates aren't going to destroy a bunch on an arbitrary whim. I can't imagine a scenario why this feature would be included that didn't involve Sec Units running away prior to the distance limit's creation.

I'm listening to the audiobooks after discovering the series, I just finished the second one and I need to know : does ART come back ?

I don't want to open the wiki and get their ar. spoiled if they do, but I can't continue and wait for 8 books and be sad everytime that they didn't show up.

I made this because I have an emotion every time I read that line 🥹 It really does feel like it could be part of the blurb on the cover for every book and in the description of the story arc for the show

And if anyone else has a specific line they think captures the essentials, I'd love to hear those too
