But Murderbot hacked its own governor module and thinks for itself even though it still (pretty much … most of the time) obeyed the commands of the various humans it had been hired to protect – from outsiders and themselves. Mix a little cloned human material with a lot of augmented mechanization, install a governor module to allow it to be controlled then load it with lots of built in weapons and the strength to rip humans apart like tissue paper and you have a SecUnit. Murderbot – a name it gave itself after being involved years ago in a massacre of the humans it was supposed to be guarding on a remote mining moon – is a SecUnit. But then I started to try and tamp down my expectations because … could it match the first installment with Murderbot’s deadpan, sarcastic, leave-me-alone humor? I think I actually did a wiggle, happy dance in my chair when I got the notification that I’d been given an ARC. I’m well and truly hooked on “The Murderbot Diaries” and so thankful that I didn’t have to wait a year for the next installment. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks…īut you may have noticed that for a terrifying murderbot I fuck up a lot. 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. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot”. It has a dark past-one in which a number of humans were killed.
