Artificial Condition is the second novella in the Murderbot Diaries, and it picks up right after the first story leaves off. Despite being a relatively brief read, it's an excellent story that manages to establish new, full-bodied characters in orbit around the protagonist, one of them in particular proving quite endearing. The protagonist itself is also carefully crafted, with a personality all its own.
The plot, like in the first novella, is briskly paced, especially in the second and third acts. The story manages to both create a fun little story arc while also trying to resolve some of the larger questions hovering over the main character and its past. The ending is a. I look forward to what lies ahead for the Murderbot.
Overall, a solid 4.5 stars.

Add this one to the list of Perfect Short Novels.
Also favorite robot stories (I didn't even know for decades, that I liked any robot stories at all).
Also favorite robot buddy road trips (I have loved two such, this year alone).
There's so much humanity in robot stories; who knew?
