Love this book. 
This was another book club pick, and I’m so glad it was as I’m not sure I would have picked it up otherwise. 

Robots, space exploration, corporate greed, this short book has it all. 
I loved the writing, the asides, and the tone of our beloved main character, Murderbot. They felt so tangible and relatable, despite being a human bot construct made with the sole purpose of security, at any cost to themself. 

A great start to a fun and interesting series!
