There's also so much social commentary packed into a very contained story. The commoditization of people and places. The autonomy or lack thereof of the constructs, despite being fully sentient AI systems. The constructs being ACTUAL AI systems and not whatever knockoff theft software we're trying to pass off as AI these days. Exploring the concepts of morality and autonomy when free choice is a conceptual gray area. So, so, so much in such short, digestible, and delightfully sarcastic and relatable packages.
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Gaslighting, and Violence

The ending was not as strong as that of the first book and knocked down my rating from 4.5 to 3.5.

... such a good sequel... what the fuck.
this was everything from funny to brutal to adventurous to comforting. this was a portrait of the most human parts of human behavior painted by a very much not-human being.
feels like a warm hug that one can melt into. brilliant.
re-read: 26.02.24
ART and murderbot are my favorite duo. this series to me is the equivalent of what "the rise and fall of sanctuary moon" is to murderbot: pure comfort.
