Murderbot gets to confront just how different it would be if it had been treated well, and it... doesn't like it. Murderbot has to keep taking breaks in order to have feelings. Also, once again, Murderbot is saving humans from their own bad decisions, whether or not it thinks that's a good idea. But they're good humans, so it's worth it. Mostly. Maybe. Probably.

Murderbot does this in a setting and situation that keeps ramping up the tension and increasing the stakes, believably if not realistically. It handles all of this with competency and social awkwardness, with help from episodes of Sanctuary Moon.

Major character death,

hair pulling

as part of attempted murder For those who prefer major spoilers, the person who dies is

Miki

. This death inverts the trope of

fridging, since this is this person's book, and fridging is cheap.

I had an emotion.

Needing to be alone to process emotions is such a realistic characteristic.

In which Murderbot learns more about trust, friendship, corporate greed, and the philosophical implications of humans creating sentient bots and androids.
