Artificial Condition - (Murderbot Diaries) by Martha Wells (Hardcover)


MurderBot meets ART (Asshole Research Transport), discovers information about its (MurderBot's) past, and helps some humans not be murdered.  All while being delightful, humorous, and deeply relatable.

"I wanted to bury my face in my hands, sink down to the floor, and slip into my media, but I didn't.  After twelve long seconds, the intense feeling subsided."

"ART said, 'What does it want?'
'To kill all the humans', I answered.
I could feel ART metaphorically clutch its function.  If there were no humans, there would be no crew to protect and no reason to do research and fill its databases.
It said, 'That is irrational.'
'I know', I said
if the humans were dead, who would make the media?  It was so outrageous it sounded like something a human would say."

"I don't make threats, I'm just telling you what I'm going to do."


"'He panicked when he heard the shots', Tracey gasped, 'You can't....'
Oh yeah, I could.


Happy sigh.  😌
