It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself Murderbot. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a research transport vessal named ART (you don't want to know what the A stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks...
Abgesehen von forcierter geschlechtergerechter Sprache weiterhin in Ordnung.
about a year since I read the first book, and a TV show in between it was time to pick up murderbot again. took me a bit of time to get into it, but once I was the book was finished in the day. enjoyed being back in murderbots head, the interactions with ART are great. just wished the climax would have been drawn out a little longer!
This was also very enjoyable, but not as exciting or novel as the first installment. I feel like the author is putting pieces into place for something larger, and I'm interested to see if ART returns and how their relationship develops.
if this book had a subtitle, it should be "a robot's guide to masking" or something along those lines.
the parallels between Eden and autism seem even more overt than they were in ASR. I wasn't sure if I was correctly reading between the lines in ASR, but very little twixt-line reading is needed for this one.
Murderbot is such a fun character. Never thought a construct could be so relatable but itβs just the cutest. I love when it gets bewildered by humans.
