All Systems Red: the Murderbot Diaries

Do you read Janelle Shane’s hilarious posts on training neural nets at aiweirdness.com<\/a>? Or perhaps follow her on Twitter<\/a>? Well, I do, and she kept writing about how much she LOVES Murderbot. And she is so fun! Which suggests to me that Murderbot might be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I investigated. I read. I learned. MURDERBOT IS FUN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, I didn’t meant to shout that. \ud83d\ude42 But it’s TRUE! Martha Wells’ novella about a security unit that’s a little bit cloned human, and a lot of roboty parts, is fun to read. Murderbot itself is fun: it had… a bad run of luck that was very fatal for a lot of people, and doesn’t really trust its makers anymore. And loves video dramas. And is a little too smart for its job. And… then things get VERY INTERESTING in the unmapped bits of the planet that its clients are exploring…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a page turner! (You can read a sample on the Tor website here<\/a>.) And there are more volumes to turn, and a full length novel coming out, and now I’m going to need to read all of those. Because: Murderbot is fun.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
