 It's the meme;
 You ruined a perfectly good Murderbot. Look, it's got anxiety. 

Lol. I loved this book. I thought Murderbot was very cute, is that weird? 

It's a character focused story. There are not huge amounts of world building but the references to corporations acting pretty much as the do in current day is giving dystopian vibes. Which honestly says a lot about our world. Quick easy read that left me wanting more.
Questions like what happened in Murderbot's past? What will Murderbot do in the future? Do the other bots have just as vivid desires as Murderbot and only can't express it because they're trapped by the governor module?


Looking forward to the rest of the series.
