Murderbot

Enter the darkly humorous and action-packed universe of Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries, a series centred on a self-aware, part-organic SecUnit (Security Unit) that has hacked its own governor module, granting it free will.

Calling itself 'Murderbot', this socially anxious and cynical construct would vastly prefer to ignore its lethal capabilities and instead spend its time consuming endless hours of entertainment media, particularly its favourite serial, Sanctuary Moon.

However, despite its best efforts to remain detached and avoid messy human emotions, Murderbot frequently finds itself entangled in dangerous corporate conspiracies and perilous situations, often reluctantly protecting the very humans it finds illogical and irritating.

Through Murderbot's witty, internal monologue, the series explores themes of identity, trauma, freedom, and what it truly means to be sentient, all set against a backdrop of interstellar corporate intrigue and thrilling adventure.
