One mainstay is a bot-piloted transport named Perihelion, whom Murderbot befriends and lovingly calls ART. There is cast of bots and humans that is constantly changing, and it is fun to see how Murderbot reacts to interacting with new beings. Murderbot is not the only great character.
And it always has a snarky comeback (that it will never say to your face, rather think to itself). It can hack the hell out of any electronic system or thing. It is always the smartest sentient in the room. There is so much to love about Murderbot, it is almost sad that it hates humans so much (though, it has its reasons, to be sure). I couldn’t wait to get back to my wild rogue rampage of hitching rides on bot-piloted transports and watching my serials. I had given myself a name, but it was private.Ĭlearly, this is a character-driven series, and you will not find a more perfect main protagonist than Murderbot. Let’s not bury the lede, here, and get right to the crux of what makes The Murderbot Diaries what it is: the rogue SecUnit known as Murderbot, though not everyone knows its name. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid ― a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.īut when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. “As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.” A murderous android discovers itself in All Systems Red, a tense science fiction adventure by Martha Wells that interrogates the roots of consciousness through Artificial Intelligence.
