The Murderbot Diaries is a series of 7 novellas: All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, Exit Strategy, Network Effect, Fugitive Telemetry, and System Collapse. A "SecUnit" called Murderbot (a futuristic cyborg, a combination of robotic and cloned human parts) secretly hacks the governor module that controls all of its actions. Now an independent agent, Murderbot flees for its life, since rogue SecUnits are considered dangerous. Dr. Mensah, a planetary leader outside the Corporate Rim, and ART, a highly advanced artificial intelligence, befriend Murderbot, during each of Murderbot’s subsequent missions. This series lands outside of my typical reading comfort zone. Heavy in computer programming lingo, the technical details left me struggling to follow the plot and visualize the scenes. However, the series offers a unique and often humorous reading experience while Murderbot navigates the complexities of human emotions and newfound freedom.
