It's a short book (a novella), which manages to be a super fun, fast-paced, adventure read, but also sprinkles in some deep questions of personhood.
Absolutely loved reading it, and if I had a list of favorite main characters, Murderbot would be in it.

You ruined a perfectly good Murderbot. Look, it's got anxiety.
Lol. I loved this book. I thought Murderbot was very cute, is that weird?
It's a character focused story. There are not huge amounts of world building but the references to corporations acting pretty much as the do in current day is giving dystopian vibes. Which honestly says a lot about our world. Quick easy read that left me wanting more.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
