Oh yea I know it is just a coincidence but I could never not think about it while reading the books. Great series though. Probably my favorite contemporary Sci Fi series.

Despite the awful name he was pretty based.

The issue is that basically everything pop science/nerd culture is sus now. Epstein was all over everyone and I wouldn't be surprised that even folks who aren't implicated in sex stuff chose to name stuff after him because they meet him at a party once or something.
