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 vessel 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.

Feels interstitial

I think anything I could say about this book I could say about the previous ones in the series. Enjoyable, endearing, and with a sort of cultured, high-pulp feel.
Maybe it's because I started reading the Murderbot series with a much later entry, and so I know where the titular SecUnit ends up; because this story feels like it is a slice in the crescent of a larger arc, where nothing particularly groundbreaking is revealed.
Really good. I liked it a lot and have already started on the next one.

back to murderbot
4 stars
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!

Enjoyable, but feels in setup mode
3 stars
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.

Eden
4 stars
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.

Review of 'Artificial Condition' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Murderbot is such a fun character. Never thought a construct could be so relatable but it’s just the cutest. I love when it gets bewildered by humans.
