This book was recommended to me a lot. No regrets reading it. Beautifully short but packing a lot into 200 pages through the casual descriptions of how society is structured that you can infer a lot from. I keep thinking Murderbot is watching Sailor Moon though based on the show title, which I think inherently makes it funnier. Not my highest rating because M's apathy leaves me a little apathetic too.

 I am excited for the rest of this journey, to see our murderbot (yes, our!) become human.

the one and only book I’ve found so far to answer the “is the robot human?” question with “well, have you asked it if it wants to be?”. also, a protagonist who uses exclusively it/its pronouns while also having its ENTIRE story centred around how it is in fact a person, just not a human one. I’ll accept nonhuman rep when it’s this damn good
