Murderbot will make you love it immensely, and it would hate that.
Snarky, depressed, cyborg security guard is sent to a planet with a group of scientists who bumble into danger. Murderbot has a secret it is desperately trying to hide- its own autonomy, but it's forced to choose between maintaining that secret and saving some lives.
This is a quick novella that will get you fully sucked into this world and invested in these characters. Amazing world building, complicated and interesting cast of characters, and a security guard that really just wants to be left alone to watch TV. Spectacular.
