Murderbot Diaries – serie

Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good.Having volunteered to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realises that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it doesn't know.Including human children. Ugh.This may well call for... eye contact!(Emotion check: Oh, for f—)

'As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.'First, read the first two stories that started the Murderbot phenomenon in All Systems Red and Artificial Condition!On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is (and to watch its favorite show in its downtime.)But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth.And when Murderbot teams up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), they infiltrate the mining facility where Murderbot went rogue to try to understand its past.What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks…

“Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?”Science fiction’s favourite antisocial A.I. is back in Rogue Protocol! The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is.And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.In Exit Strategy, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah - its former owner (protector? friend?) - submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit.But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?And what will become of it when it’s caught?

“No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall.”In Fugitive Telemetry, when Murderbot discovers a body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people - who knew?)System Collapse follows the events of Network Effect, where Murderbot, ART, and the humans from Preservation are work to protect a human colony from being abducted by the Barish-Estranza Corporation. But with Barish-Estranza’s SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, they’re going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what’s wrong with itself, and fast!
