Wow, thanks for both links! From Alan's HN/u comment, it does still appear that Dealers of Lightning is a worthwhile read ("nowhere near the bottom"—A.Kay), just confusing (chronologically) at times [I agree].

I've added Dream Machine to my reading list (but will wait a year, as I just finished Dealer's Lightning early 2024).
