Everyone should read the books. As annother said the show is only inspired by the books.

The very basic premise of the books is, the individual is unimportant in face of large systemic forces. The show clearly has the opposite viewpoint. Because those kinds of stories are easier to write, therefore more common, and what people are used to. So it's also easier to sell.
