I'm currently reading the books for the first time, just finished callibans war. I was wondering, should I watch the serie along with reading the books? Does each season represent a book?

I haven't read the latest novels, but isn't Holden supposed to be around 80 in Persepolis? I don't think either CGI aging or replacing the cast would've been a good move.

In the later books they drop a line about anti aging meds a couple times as a way to explain the timeline. I wanted to be mad about that but realized i accepted anti cancer meds without blinking.

The books say that they age much slower due to modern medicine.
