This was a very cute sci-fi and I'm excited to see the world expand/get to learn more about murderbot in the next books (in terms of the actual story, it's very impressive that such a self contained story was written in less than 150 pages)

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
