APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One of the most emotionally complicated robots in all of sci-fi is on a mission to save some humans it might actually care about in this delightful instalment in Martha Wells’ celebrated Murderbot Diaries series. It’s been a long time since Murderbot quietly freed itself from the typical corporate constraints placed on cyborg security units. It doesn’t even fight with its emotional subroutine anymore (well, at least not as much). Murderbot’s on a mission from its favourite human, Dr. Mensah, to rescue her family from a space station when things take an odd turn—and those things are mostly feelings. Murderbot’s trademark sarcasm is on full display in its internal monologue, but we really appreciated the character development that keeps it from going full snark. Its thoughts about (and occasional banter with) the children on board is especially fun and unexpected. If you’ve been following Murderbot’s journey as a character, you won’t be disappointed by its major (if somewhat begrudging) breakthroughs in Platform Decay.

Emotion check: still love murderbot
Just so happy to read the latest. Makes me want to read the whole series again (4th time?) and watch Alex Skarsgard in the tv series. Because reasons.
