The downside was also paranoid attention to detail.)”Murderbot gets to revisit what ART once called “its crew”, its humans from the first novella, who once again (as always) need the help of its sarcastic, grumpy, pessimistic, slightly paranoid and satisfyingly competent (regardless of how much it tries to convince us otherwise) selfless self. The upside was paranoid attention to detail. I do that it’s the anxiety that comes with being a part-organic murderbot. This world of ridiculous corporatization of the universe cannot keep MBot quiet and obedient. Plus, they are really pissing Murderbot off, after all the carnage and the stress it just went through ( “ a SecUnit had come to Milu, saved some humans, failed to save a human form bot, killed the shit out of three combat bots ”). Mensah - the person for whom MBot feels gratitude and friendship and non-forced loyalty. The problem is, Gra圜ris is now aware of MBot’s rogue existence and abducted Dr. Murderbot now has enough dirt on the Gra圜ris corporation to make it really sting. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”And so, my friends, we have arrived at the conclusion of Murderbot novella series - the four stories that made sure that what seems like every other word out of my mouth over the last week has been ‘Murderbot’. We tend to think that because a bot or a construct looks human, its ultimate goal would be to become human.” Mensah said, “That’s not an attitude a lot of humans are going to understand.

Besides, it contains on of my favorite lines (oh, shut up. Still, it had a perfect resolution-all the feels-so we'll go with five non-robotic stars. The downside was also paranoid attention to detail.' I do that it’s the anxiety that comes with being a part-organic Murderbot. This seems like a bit of chemical sophistry, as 'Bot does require some oxygen now and then. Unless Wells' organics are plant-based, then we might have a system. Like no organic material in, no waste material out. My nitpick-and damn if Wells wasn't the one to point it out- don't do that, authors-is that there was a part that said 'Bot can't process organics. Also correct in every aspect except for all the facts, like something out of a historical adventure serial.' 'It was very dramatic, like something out of a historical adventure serial. Absolutely solid balance between planning, action, and dialogue in this installment. Murberbot continues its adventures, and exploring the learning curve of what it means to be a Murderbot. Oh right, I often have complex emotional reactions which I can't easily interpret.' A whole new burst of neural connections blossomed.
