Good news: in the two decades that have passed, spec fic has gotten super high-brow. Murderbot carried me through all of July. In this, second outing, despite it's best intentions, Murderbot keeps making friends. ART, arguably Murderbot's best friend, is my favorite character. Fresh off of its first human friendships (and unwilling to acknowledge them as such), Murderbot needs another bot to be friends with. And ART is not human, although charmingly a bit arrogant, and definitely more than a bit pedantic, ART is a beautiful foil to the sardonic and asocial Murderbot. The second book in the series spools out some of the backstory hinted at in the first, but the central focus is exploring what makes a bot itself and not just any generic construct. I loved this: I think it had a lot to say about people, growth and relationships. Omg, I love this series SO much! For anyone coming to this series for the first time, be sure to read the books in order so that you understand the back story. In this second in the Murderbot series, our rogue SecBot from book #1 has a goal of going back to the scene of the crime from its past to find out what really happened. It wants to know what really caused the horrible massacre that resulted in its naming itself Murderbot. Was it really the fault of Murderbot, or was something else at play? With the help of a research transport vessel that it names ART (I laughed out loud at this acronym), the rogue SecBot (now self-named Eden) makes more self-discoveries as it navigates its tenuous position between human and bot. And Eden again finds itself responsible for the safety of a group of humans, a species that it finds itself starting to care for more than it likes to admit.
There’s plenty here to entertain the many fans of the first novella. Pertany a aquestes sèriesPertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsPremis
It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself Murderbot. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a research transport vessal named ART (you don't want to know what the A stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
