Review of "Secret Life of Bots" only
I just finished Artificial Condition, the second book in the Murderbot Diaries series, and really liked it. Greg at Book Haven noted my excitement and recommended this short story to me.
"The Secret Life of Bots" is not related to Murderbot in any way but they do have a similar feel. There's a...not entirely compliant robot with a quirky personality, a dry sense of humor, and a penchant for saving humanity from our stupidest impulses.
This was a fun little read (available to read free at ClarkesWorld Magazine) and I would like to read more about Ship & Bot 9, either before or after the adventure detailed in this story. Highly recommended for Murderbot fans.
