"Apparently suddenly getting free will after having 93% of your behavior controlled for your entire existence will do weird things to your impulse control."

A very short (too short!) little prequel to Murderbot, set before all the other books during Murderbot's time guarding mining equipment.  Fans will love it -- obviously, I loved it -- but with its length it feels more like a foreword than a standalone story.
