It has been established that Gerward Valen's apartment in Inga on Asborg lacks books. See Public Database. Furthermore, it is small and sparse with rigid chairs. We have become used to reading about self-adjusting furniture. See here.
"Well, maybe he'd picked these quarters because a transparency offered what must be a spectacular daylight view of bay, headlands, and ocean." (p. 57)
In this respect at least, Valen's small sparse space matches the roomy rich residences of Nicholas van Rijn and Dominic Flandry in another timeline. Valen is "...a Comet line officer." (p. 56)
Asborgan society is organized around "Houses" - like Ythrian choths, Merseian Vachs, Hermetian domains or Monwaingi Societies? So what business does Lissa's House of Windholm have with a Comet line officer? Read on.

Kaor, Paul!
And I wonder if self adjusting furniture molding itself to the physical forms of their users will ever become practical.
