Such a great sci-fi nugget to find! I loved getting to know Murderbot as a character. (They're honestly so relatable; I too would like to just sit in my room, isolate myself from people's physical presence, and devour content.) World-building unfurls just enough to place you on this space survey mission without dumping a lot of unnecessary, rigid jargon on you. Next to Murderbot, my favorite character was probably Dr. Mensah. I'm hoping she'll make a reappearance later on in the series; however, after the ending I'm uncertain. One can hope. Sci-fi fans please read if you haven't already.

critique of capitalism at times includes ways in which companies hurt their clients (i.e cheap or ineffective equipment) unintentional use of ideas associated with racism and enslavement (colorism and ‘purchasing’ people) it/its pronouns for the main character
