09/11/2025 - I should've known that this type of book was tailored for me. Murderbot somehow contains every scrap of humanity possible while also being better than the majority of us. I loved it. I will now proceed to binge listening to the entire series.
09/18/2025 - I ended up rereading this entire book. I did it while sending emails and working. I strongly suspect Murderbot would appreciate that. I think I loved the book even more the second time. I wonder how many times i will listen to this book before I die. Probably an obscene amount of times. And yes, I will add to my review each time I do. Thanks, Murderbot, for getting me through this entire shitty week. I mean, I wasn't getting shot at so I really shouldn't complain. But I relate to the tedium of the day to day and to just trying to survive our corporate overlords I guess.
