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.
A full length Murderbot book!!!!! YES!
This book was a ride. An emotional rollercoaster to say the least. And Murderbot is not great at handling its emotions! It has to save an adolescent human.... so annoying. Then they get kidnapped by a familiar transport. But something is VERY wrong. And Murderbot is NOT ok about it.
They get through that nightmare, and have to deal with 7 other things. There was SO MUCH going on. But all of it was seen through the snarky, emotionally stunted lens of our favorite construct.
Murderbot and ART may be in a relationship now. Definitely a friend...ish...ship. They make a good team at least. And also we have a new Rogue SecUnit onboard?! I sure hope we see more of it as well.
This short story is told from the point of view of Dr. Mensah and follows the events in Exit Strategy.
This was very good. Quick and enlightening. You know from Murderbot's POV that Dr. Mensah has been through a LOT. And while you do get emotions from Murderbot, he's a bot. So they're filtered down and reluctant. And while some of Dr. Mensah's emotional response is reluctant, you get to see her thoughts about Murderbot. <3 Big same, Dr. Mensah. Big same.
