![]() Murderbot is dismayed to discover there are now things s/he cares about: In this installment, Murderbot is aware of becoming more humanlike in his behavior (although humans should never be allowed to do Security: they’re unable to keep pace with fast-changing situations, their egos get in the way and they’re allowed to give up). ![]() The focus is on how each of Murderbot’s journeys takes him on a path from I-hacked-my-governor-module-so-I-could-watch-more-space-operas to I-have-things-and-maybe-even-people-and-bots-who-matter-to-me. In this third part of what is now clearly one great novel being sold to us in (expensive) installments, Murderbot continues to pursue proof of the wrong-doings of the Gre圜ris corporation but this is really the frame for his journeying and not the focus of the novel. In the same way that ART in book two showed us that Murderbot is too human to be a real AI, Miki shows us that Murderbot is too much an AI ever entirely to trust humans. optimistic, emotionally attached to humans and open to making new friends. ![]() Miki is everything that Murderbot is not: naive. Murderbot moves from disbelief, through disdain, on to mild jealousy followed finally by muted grief when they part. I loved Murderbot’s interaction with Miki, the “pet” robot that sees humans as its friends. I had this on pre-order and then scarfed it down on the day it arrived.Īs always, it was fun. ![]()
