finally started reading the murderbot diaries because i kept seeing people talking about it and like. shit. okay, fine. this is my candy. space sci-fi set in a corporation-controlled semi-dystopian future, told from the pov of a snarky asexual part-organic sentient robot who has hacked itself into having free will, interwoven with an anti-capitalist, almost-whodunit plotline, and featuring strong platonic relationships as the emotional core of the series?

like, yes, okay, fine. jeez, next time just @ me

#the muderbot diaries #muderbot diaries #i've read the first four books in the last two days #i mean granted they go super-fast as they are novellas of like 150 pages #but still #i have been devouring them #they are so good #and i haven't put into words exactly what it says about what makes a person a person even if they're not human and don't want to be #but the fact that murderbot has strong emotions and sinks itself into comforting media that it's seen a million times #and it cares about its humans and even all the other random stupid decent people around it #it doesn't have to be human to be a person #to have value and worth and be deserving of respect and autonomy
