I didn't realize there was an overarching plot until book 3(?). It really impressed me, and to this day I wonder if she started the series knowing the arch, or made it up after the success of the first book.
Read the first one again! He definitely initially views the Preservation scientists as hippies. Their society is essentially an extremely socially liberal communism; I don't remember it Wells makes it explicit that it's post-scarcity, but she does make a point that visitors to the Rim from Preservation have trouble with the concept of money.
Written in memoir form, how people are presented evolves along with Murderbot. They start out loopy and not very bright (from MB's POV) and get more rational and clever the longer he's around them.
