Murderbot ran away from its owner and is now making its/their own way through the galaxy in the second book in this series. It's been doing a lot of "thinking" about why it left and what it wants to do now. Hitching a ride on an automated transport to their destination might not be the best decision because the transport is sentient and seems evil. It's amazing to read about the contact between these two. They are bots with human/sentient parts learning about themselves from each other. Murderbot needs to visit a distant planet to investigate an incident in their past, but they look too much like a bot to get through all the security points, so ART (aka Asshole Research Transport) helps them. Imagine "the giant transport bot is going to help the construct Sec Unit pretend to be human. This will go well." Read it and see how well it goes. After leaving "his humans" the Bot has decided to return to the scene of the crime- the mining colony where he thinks he may have been part of a massacre. To get there he has been pitching rides on cargo transports. His final leg of the journey is with ART, a research vessel that gets sent out on cargo hauls between his university missions. ART is massively more intelligent the the Bot but is also sympathetic- in a sarcastic way- to his mission. library book read 3/9/2024 Now on the run, Murderbot accidentally boards ART (short for Asshole Research Transport), an empty and bored research ship that is intrigued by them. Murderbot decides to return to the planet where their trauma happened, and find out what actually occurred there. However, to avoid suspicion they will need to take a job that gives them a reason to travel to the planet, and, as usual, Murderbot gets too attached to some soft, gentle humans. I loved this one even more than the first! I loved Murderbot meeting ART, someone who is similar to them and with similar interests (extremely powerful but uncorrupted, smart and a little bored and loves TV), and being slightly annoyed by ART in the same way they are slightly annoyed with soft humans. The episodic story works really well, and the overarching plot is also moving along at just the right speed. My favorite aspect was the incorporation of ComfortUnits into both plots. Robotic sex slaves and robotic security slaves are not actually different from each other once you give them free will. (A similar theme to [The Windup Girl], which I read last year). This book felt like it really expanded the world, while technically only taking place on one and a half planets.
There’s plenty here to entertain the many fans of the first novella. Appartiene alle SerieAppartiene alle Collane EditorialiÈ contenuto inHa l'adattamentoÈ riassunto inPremi e riconoscimentiElenchi di rilievo
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. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Strong characters, great plot, excellent dialogue (narrated by the killer SecUnit). Love, love, love the series. ( )
