One thing I really enjoyed seeing was this sort of hidden discussion emerging on what it means to be a person versus what it means to be human. In real life, they are one and the same - to be human is to be a person is to be human. While I do think the reality of an augmented human, much less a SecUnit-type bot, is pretty far off, these are considerations that we'll need to consider in those hypothetical futures - what does it mean to have autonomy, free will, and privacy when you have a range of persons, only some of which are human. I'm sure as we go along and Murderbot continues to live we'll touch on these questions and more.
A fun, engaging quick read. Looking forward to continuing the series, likely kicking off the New Year with the sequel. 4 stars.
