"I caught myself rereading my favorite parts... and I can’t recommend it enough." ― New York Times
You
know that feeling when you’re at work, and you’ve had enough of people,
and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done
right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go
home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine
programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot.
Come for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I. you’ll read this century.
―
I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.
When
Murderbot's human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured
and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance,
Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action.
Drastic action it is, then.
