3.0

I see the appeal of this - fast paced, action packed sci-fi novella with a funny and sarcastic protagonist. I certainly enjoyed it; I finished it in two sittings and it helped me get out of my reading slump. However, I don't think there was anything particularly amazing about it.  Don't go in expecting a deep dive on the ethics and philosophy of robotic autonomy and free will etc.,  just appreciate it for what it is; a pulpy fun adventurous sci-fi murderbot romp.
