Murderbot at its best again!

While the previous two books didn't quite click with me as much as the series before that, System Collapse was everything I love about The Murderbot Diaries. The story is set directly after Network Effect, and features "beloved" ART and its crew again. Against the backdrop of a mission to rescue colonists from being enslaved by a heartless corporation, we learn of (redacted), which causes very PTSD-like symptoms in Murderbot - the plotline I enjoyed the most.
