A short and funny ride inside Murderbots head.
The story itself is a quick adventure, we're all here for the character and I'm looking forward to where we're going.

If I was a security robot, who unknowingly to everyone gained self awareness, I'd binge watch TV Dramas too.
Funny and quick read.
Interesting perspective.
(It was strangely cute hearing it call the people it works for "My Humans")

Murderbot finds itself hampered by fellow parts of the security system and discovers how far it will go to protect humans it doesn't actually hate. 

This is an action-adventure book from the point of view of a human/robot construct who uses sarcasm to cope. Murderbot is a killer SecUnit who honestly just wants to be left alone to watch its shows in peace. 

Each character of this book is well-developed with their own personality, foibles, weaknesses, and strengths. This book is a loving and frank observation of human (and SecUnit) nature as well as a scathing indictment of corporate culture and its logical conclusion. In spite of all of the violence, this book is compassionate. Well, except to the bad guys. They just need to stop. 

Tropes include found family,

self-sacrifice

, rescuing the rescuer, kindness breaks the big tough warrior, ace icon, whoops that didn't go as planned, and lots and lots of lovely trope inversions.

I loved the novella and really appreciate this full cast dramatized adaptation. If you enjoy audio plays more than audiobooks, I highly recommend this one. I also have the audiobooks of the series, but liked this version much more!
