Murderbot is maybe the most relatable protagonist I've ever read about.
It's a half human, half robot construct that is originally programmed to act as security system. It's assigned to a group of scientists to protect them while they do research on an uninhabited planet.
But Murderbot doesn't really like the job or people... in general. It just wants to be left alone and watch TV shows. Unfortunately, someone or something is trying to kill the scientists and sabotage their mission.
It's a short novella (you can read it in one setting, it only took me 3 days because I got distracted) which means you don't get that much details about the world or the other characters. But I thought it was enough. Also, loved the humour.... and it was actually surprisingly wholesome.

"And in their corner all they had was Murderbot, who just wanted everyone to shut up and leave it alone so it could watch the entertainment feed all day."
Is there a character I connect with more than Murderbot? You know, I don't think there is.
Murderbot is grumpy, has anxiety, and would rather watch tv than interact with people. Just replace reading with watching tv and I think we're pretty much identical. Well, other than actually being a murderbot.
All Systems Red, and the rest of the series, follows Murderbot on their many adventures in space. And if you like sci-fi, sarcastic main characters, and character driven stories then you should definitely pick up the Murderbot Diaries. You will not be disappointed!
