Murderbot martha wells5/22/2023 This is more than Murderbot can handle, however emotions are anathema to it. This group is from a planet that does not look upon SecBots as “things,” and who treat Murderbot as an equal. In particular, Murderbot is drawn to a set of clients we meet in the first book of the series, All Systems Red. Murderbot would like nothing better than to spend its time watching all the space adventure series it has downloaded, but still can’t resist the pull to rescue humans from all the scrapes they continually get themselves into. But Murderbot has gone “rogue,” having hacked its controlling module so that it now has free will. In any event, Murderbot is a security robot, or SecBot, designed to protect its clients – who are humans – from any threats. The name was given to it (unjustly) because of an incident in its past and the appellation stuck. The protagonist, part robot but with organic parts, calls itself Murderbot. These books are adorable, if it is appropriate to label very violent science fiction books thusly. I tore through the first four installments of this series.
