Ok, can someone please tell me what the hell just happened in Chapter 7? What was the point of Wardani posing as an artist? How did Kovacs know an armored vehicle was going to pull up outside within 20 minutes of them leaving Mandrake, and who sent the hired thugs? The hired thugs worked for Mandrake, so why were they attacking the promoter? I'd greatly appreciate someone clearing this up for me.

I have watched the series on Netflix. Do I need to do the first book before book two? Does the series pretty much cover the story?

Altered Carbon, the first book is also different from the Netflix series of the same name. Reading the book doesn't not spoil the TV series, or vice versa, in my opinion. They're both enjoyable in their own mediums, with slightly different storylines.(less)

In the middle of the book somewhere the main character talks with someone about Earth and I think tea or coffee plants, but just a bit before they tell that people are from Mars and no-one knows if it is the origin place or just some middle place and no-one knows for sure where we are from. How can that be? Is it some kind of glitch by the author or is there something else behind that I missed?

Humans are currently using astrogation maps created by Martians, and a unique part of Martian culture is that instead of seeing themselves all originating from a "homeworld" they considered each world they inhabited on equal footing with whichever planet they started with. That's the "hub" part of hub theory. The point is that we call them Martians because HUMANS first found them on Mars, but we don't (can't) know if they actually originated on Mars or if Mars was just a random colony in their empire.
